Following in her father's footsteps

Like her father, Ida Ali has built a career in filmmaking.

She has directed projects including Maya, Lift, and Thai Massage, carving out her own identity in the industry.

Imtiaz busy with latest film

Meanwhile, Imtiaz Ali is receiving praise for his latest film, Main Vaapas Aaunga, a period drama starring Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari, and Vedang Raina.

Set against the backdrop of the Partition, the film follows 95-year-old Ishar Singh Grewal (played by Naseeruddin Shah), whose attempt to travel to Sargodha in present-day Pakistan triggers a journey through memories of his past after he suffers a stroke.

His grandson, Nirvair (Diljit Dosanjh), returns from England to unravel long-buried family secrets, forming the emotional core of the story.
