Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar, a renowned screenwriter whose statements have frequently drawn criticism, has now claimed that his newest movie, London Nahi Jaunga, will alter “feminists’ perception” of him.
London Nahi Jaungi
The author of Meray Paas Tum Ho appeared on a local talk show where he was questioned regarding the messages contained in London Nahi Jaungi for the audience.
Speaking about how the movie questions society’s gender-based discrimination and explores women’s rights, Qamar claimed that the Mehwish Hayat and Humayun Saeed starrer is the perfect rebuttal to anyone who believes he is a misogynist.
“The movie has a strong message about women’s rights and raises issues about how society treats women unfairly. “Women have always been held in the highest regard by me, and I have made it a point to never let them bow to men, said Qamar.
Punjab Nahi Jaungi
A specific slap gate scene in his 2017 film Punjab Nahi Jaungi and the casual reinforcement of problematic male idols for the male audience both drew criticism.
Following his viral altercations with Marvi Sirmed and a call out by actor Mahira Khan, the host questioned whether Qamar’s assertion that London Nahi Jaunga advocates for women’s rights and their unfair treatment in society were an attempt to appease feminists.
Denying the allegations, Qamar stated that the movie was written seven months before his encounter with Marvi Sirmed and that it illustrates his way of thinking. He emphasized that there is no connection between the themes the movie explores and any viral news.
Misogynistic
After watching the movie, those who have accused me of being misogynistic will feel ashamed and have nowhere to hide, the author predicted.
Gohar Rasheed and Kubra Khan are also featured in the Nadeem Baig film. The romantic comedy, which debuted on Eidul Azha, is currently playing in theatres across Pakistan.
