Karachi - The cast and crew of Parchi walked the red carpet at the premiere of their eagerly-awaited movie at a local multiplex in Karachi the other day. The movie has been the talk of the town since its trailer came out in December, followed by the hit song ‘Billo Hai’ which has the whole country grooving to it.

The talented cast includes Hareem Farooq, Ali Rehman Khan, Usman Mukhtar, Ahmed Ali Akhbar, Shafqat Khan, Mojiz Hasan, Mahenur Haider, Shafqat Cheema, Salmaan Shaukat and Faiza Saleem. Written by Shafqat Khan, and directed by the Janaan director, Azfar Jafri, Parchi is the third venture of IRK films after Siyaah and Janaan that released in 2013 & 2016. The story of Parchi revolves around a group of friends who find themselves in trouble when one receives a ‘Parchi’ from the gangster he owes money to, and what follows is a series of comical situations, and a full-fledged rollercoaster ride. It is a situational comedy that revolves around gangsters, and highlights the ‘parchi’ system in Pakistan without any serious undertones. “It is a surreal feeling to see people’s reaction to Parchi at the premiere of the movie. The entire team has worked extremely hard to make Parchi possible, and it feels amazing when you get such a good response from audiences,” stated Imran RazaKazmi, the founder of IRK Films and the producer of Parchi. “The last two months have been filled with back-to-back promotions, and I am completely over-whelmed with the love and support given by people. Parchi has been getting great reviews after the premiere, and I hope the audiences will also like the movie when it hits the cinemas on 5th January,” stated Hareem Farooq, the actor and co-producer of Parchi. Internationally, Parchi will release in UAE, USA & Canada on January 12 and in France on January 19.
