Shoaib Mansoor’s upcoming film ABG starring Maya Ali and Emmad Irfani in the lead has finally gone on floors. The real name of the film is not known as yet, but its acronym is ABG, as per Maya.
Maya announced the news by sharing a picture from the first day on set on her Instagram.
“First day on the set of ABG. Blessed to have gotten a chance to work with the great Shoaib Sahab,” she wrote in the caption.
Emmad also shared a picture of himself with the director at the Pakistan Air Force and sent him his best wishes for the shoot.
Does this mean that PAF and patriotism will be a central theme in the film?
We’ll have to wait and find out because details about the film are being kept tightly under wraps.
The film will be the first time the Maya and Emmad will be seen together on the big screen. Maya was last seen in the film Parey Hut Love and Emmad is currently making waves with his ongoing drama Jalan. The actor was supposed to make his film debut with Gawah Rehna this year. However, its release got delayed due to the pandemic.
ABG will also mark Mansoor’s return to the director’s seat after a break of almost three years – his last film was the Mahira Khan starrer Verna, which released in November 2017.
An official release date for ABG has not been announced yet.
Meanwhile, friends and colleagues of Maya sent her best wishes in the comments section of her post, with Mahira telling her that she is “working with the best”.
