Neeraj Pandey, who is producing Total Siyapaa, starring Ali Zafar and Yami Gautam, in the lead roles, is hoping to release the film in Pakistan.
A source close to the production house reveals that "the film is set in London and has a hilarious take on how a Pakistani-Punjabi boy (played by Ali) goes to meet the girl's Indian-Punjabi family, and the chaos that follows thereafter.
Therefore, Neeraj believes that the film will have quite a connect with the audience in Pakistan as well." Of course, Bollywood films and its film stars are tremendously popular there.
The source adds that Ali, who is Pakistani, might help with the same. The source says, "The actor is working towards helping the makers release the film in Pakistan and facilitate the needful. This has been an immense aid to the makers. They are trying their best to have a release, especially considering the huge fan following that Ali has in Pakistan."
When contacted, Neeraj confirms the news saying, "We are planning to release and promote the film in Pakistan."
Pakistani singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar, who is gearing up for his next Bollywood venture Total Siyapaa, says the audiences in his home country as well as India are going to relish and cherish the romantic comedy.
"Whenever we talk about India and Pakistan, people get very sensitive, but this film has balanced it in a very light way. Every person in Pakistan will enjoy the film as much as people in India. The film will bring people closer," Ali told reporters at the Total Siyapaa trailer launch.
Directed by E. Nivas and written by Neeraj Pandey, Total Siyapaa is the love story of a Pakistani guy (Ali) and an Indian girl, played by Yami Gautam who made her debut in Hindi films with Vicky Donor.
In the film, there is a scene where Ali and Yami are having a conversation over Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi.
Ali is confident that Afridi, one of the most "adored and loved" cricketers at the moment, "will hug me" after seeing the film.
"My real fans will perceive it in a right way and everyone will come and watch the film," added the actor who has featured in other Bollywood films like Tere Bin Laden, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and Chashme Baddoor.
