It's sort of funny. At one hand we have Hamza claiming that he did the movie just for friends and is not being paid and on the other hand, we have Humayun who says Hamza is being paid. Somebody shared this tribune blog on my Facebook and the caption was, "We all have that one friend who takes money and then forgets." 😆 They're a making a joke out of the entire promotion that the film needs. Hamza is busy explaining the same thing again and again (which people hardly believe, must I say) and then they're contradicting each other's statement. He has done the film, he regrets is. Okay, it is fine. But then stand by it.. promote it. What's the reason to be this against the movie, no matter if he got paid for it or not? At least he should stop making a joke out of himself. And as ranidrops mentioned, Humayun and Vasay are his really good friends. Just for their sake, he should stop creating this fuss. If people are calling him a hypocrite, then he should let them instead of writing those long posts on FB just to clarify and explain. What's done is done. Chalo not attend the promotional visits but why create this mess? Why can't he keep quiet?

I agree..but the funny thing is he just recently shot for some JPNA photoshoot, and also shot for some promotional song for the film as well if I'm not mistaken? This is all going on while he's claiming he doesn't want to promote the film. lol

Humayun is right when he says that Hamza's the most enthusiastic when it comes to JPNA's promotions. He's indirectly giving this film so much publicity. It makes you question his intentions as well. A lot of the things Hamza has been saying in regards to the film is in poor taste. He claimed he didn't do JPNA for money, yet Humayun one of the producers of the film clearly dismissed that. Why is Hamza even saying such a thing? That clearly doesn't even make sense. He also keeps justifying himself and then contradicting it all. I don't know what goes through Hamza's head, but he really needs to stop talking about this film altogether. Last week, he was in sync with many of his fans being against JPNA for it's content..saying boycott the film if you want to, he's with them..and then these justifications as to what he really did, how he didn't want to do it but was forced to do it..how he isn't being paid..seriously? This is all very unprofessional of Hamza. He should just let it be. He's only making a joke out of himself.

I like him a lot as an actor actually because of Pyarey Afzal. But all his statements on item numbers, JPNA and PTI really irk me. It would be fine of him to say a sentence or two condemning item numbers but he writes such long posts and that too when the actresses doing item numbers are his close friends, for instance, Mehwish Hayat, Ayesha Omer. JPNA.. well, we just discussed about it. And PTI ke liye he's wayy too sensitive. 😆 He should limit his posts to updates on his shoots and projects. It's fine of him to talk about incidents like Charlie Hebdo, Peshawar Attack but this JPNA mess is seriously going to defame him, not the film. He should stay out of matters like these and not pass such contradictory statements on his page that has, not to mention, some 2+ million likes.

JPNA isn't inspired by Bollywood or Hollywood: Vasay Chaudhry

By Hassan Choudary

KARACHI: If there's one thing that REALLY irritates Vasay Chaudhry, it's comparing his upcoming film Jawani Phir Nahi Ani (JPNA) to Bollywood film Grand Masti.

Vasay is not only playing one of the main characters in the film, he has also written it. And he isn't happy when people say JPNA is inspired by Bollywood. "When the teaser came out people said it's a copy of [Hollywood blockbuster] Hangover. And after the trailer was released, all publications started comparing it to Masti and Grand Masti. What if it doesn't turn out to be either? Will they write an apology letter to me?" he said while speaking to The Express Tribune.

The talented screenwriter/actor " who has also written Humayun Saeed's Mein Hoon Shahid Afridi - says it's absurd how the younger crop of film critics, reporters and bloggers never do any research before making such claims. "Everyone keeps saying dancing and singing isn't part of Pakistani cinema. How many Pakistani films have these people seen? Was Noor Jehan singing for Raj Kapoor? Did Ahmed Rushdi lend his voice to Rishi Kapoor? Who was Waheed Murad? He danced his way into women's hearts!" he asserted.

And he has a point doesn't he? After all, singing and dancing has been part of Pakistan's film industry since its inception. "Approximately 2,600 feature films have been released in Pakistan, of which 2,589 have songs in them. Who did Adnan Sami Khan sing Zarra Dholki Bajao Goriyo for? Did Waheed Murad not sway the audience with Meray Khayalon Mein and Akailay Na Jana? You may not like it but do not try to tamper with history. Who did Noor Jehan sing 20,000 songs for?"

Vasay says if anyone has to define JPNA's genre, they must do so by comparing it to older Pakistani films. "Yes, we have taken inspiration but not from Bollywood. We were inspired by Urdu films like Chor Machai Shor and Punjabi films, such as Naukar Voti Da, Soura Tay Javai. But no one ever talks about that. Even our song Khul Jaye Botal is an ode to Disco Dildar Mera from Punjabi film Dhee Rani but people compared it to Disco Deewane from Student of the Year," he continued.

Speaking about the storyline, he says JPNA is a coming-of-age story of four friends. "It's an out and out comedy. I am not claiming I have written Gone With The Wind. It's a very basic story and a Pakistani take on that story. But it's not Grand Masti either. There are no vulgar jokes in the film."

When asked how difficult it was to fit into a character that he has written himself, he said, "It's very easy actually. Even when I am not playing a character in a story, I have all these character sketches in my head. How they walk or how they speak. So I think it's easy for me to take up a role I have written."

Does this mean Vasay gets the best lines? "Very good question; no! I'll tell you an incident. Once I saw a PTV host read fan mail for Teen Batta Teen. Someone had asked why Lucy's character was the funniest. Because Adeel Hashmi " who was playing that role " was also the scriptwriter?'

For some reason this got stuck with me. And when I started writing in 2000, I made sure no one would ask me the same question. I think I have proven to be fair and just to my characters, otherwise Fawad and Ahmed Butt wouldn't be heroes in Jutt and Bond or Ahmed wouldn't have given hits like Rubber Band or Inspector Khojee."

And finally, when asked what's the one expectation the audience should have from JPNA, he said,"It's a slightly different taste of comedy from what you have experienced in the last two years. It's not similar to Na Maloom Afraad, Karachi Se Lahore or Wrong Number. It's not in the same zone. People will get to see a different kind of humour."

JPNA will hit cinemas on Eidul Azha. Here's wishing Vasay and the rest of the team good luck!

Yeah I keep thinking she has done something to her face. It looks bloated sometimes, maybe botox. I dunno about lip fillers. She is young right? Like 20 years old?
