Internet sensation Chahat Fateh Ali Khan to make her film debut in Sadqay this Eid – Culture

The legend of Maula Jatt, Khuda Ke Liyeand now, Sabaq — what do all these films have in common? An iconic Khan stars in each of them.

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, the king of viral music and the star behind one of today’s biggest hits, ‘Bado Badi’, is set to make his cinema debut in a film titled Sabaq.

The film is set to release on Eidul Adha, and to say we are excited would be the understatement of the century.

Khan recently released the film’s poster and trailer (yes, there is a trailer) on his Instagram account. Although the film does not feature any big names from the Pakistani film industry, we honestly believe that there is no need, thanks to the star power that Khan brings to the screen.

However, despite our excitement, we don’t really know what the film is about. The trailer shows clips of each cast member, before Khan appears on screen and delivers his iconic introduction: “Croron Dilon Ki Jaan, Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, from London (The Life of a Million Hearts, Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, from London).

He then begins to recite immensely lyrical poetry. Our journalistic abilities would not be able to do these verses justice, so we strongly urge you to go watch the trailer and listen to it yourself.

The film stars Sana Saqib, Shabbo Gee, Kamil Malik, Saqib, Talib Kiyani, Mohammed Rashid, Faraz Ahmed and of course Khan himself. It is written and directed by Faraz Ahmed and produced by RRR Productions. According to the movie’s poster, the film is still looking for sponsors — and maybe you could be one!

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it, we say. Who knows, maybe Chahat Fateh Ali Khan and her colleagues will represent Pakistan at Cannes next year, or maybe at the Oscars…
