Love Guru looks like an expensive production but it's budget will blow your mind

Pakistani film industry's leading actor and producer Humayun Saeed has revealed the budget of his upcoming film, the highly anticipated Love Guru.

The romantic comedy, set to release on Eid-ul-Adha 2025, is directed by Nadeem Baig and written by Wasay Chaudhry. The film stars Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed in lead roles.

The story follows a self-proclaimed love guru and a London-based architect named Sophia. The film has been shot in both London and Karachi.

Humayun Saeed is currently in the United States with Mahira Khan to promote the film. When asked about the film's budget, he shared: “The budget is not that big — we have spent Rs 28 crore on this film. It’s a Pakistani film, so this amount is nothing compared to Bollywood. The budget of our dramas, which you watch regularly, is also very limited.”

He then confidently added, “Don’t talk about the budget, just tell me how good the quality is! After watching the film, it should feel like it is worth 100 crores even if the budget is 30 crores!”

His remarks won the hearts of fans, who praised him and noted that Pakistani dramas are among the best in the world and continue to deliver exceptional quality despite limited budgets.

Humayun Saeed also addressed a pressing issue in the Pakistani film industry: the shortage of cinema screens.

“We need more screens so that the business can grow. The films that did well, like Maula Jatt, Jawani Phir Nahi Aani 2, Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad, Punjab Nahi Jaungi, and London Nahi Jaunga, were only released on 100 to 120 screens. Just imagine what could happen if we had 500 or even 1,000 screens.”
