Imran Abbas is making his Punjabi cinematic debut with his upcoming Punjabi film Jee Ve Soneya Jee. The actor will be playing the main character in the love story and couldn’t be happier about it. He sees this as the two nations taking a step towards each other. “This is a very serious, very intense love story between two countries, India and Pakistan. It will be shot in Europe, London and India. Our Punjab and Indian Punjab, as you know, are so close so this is a great effort to keep us close to people in the Indian Punjab,” he told a publication. “Other actors of ours from Punjab were also working in films before this but it’s rare for a Pakistani to be playing the lead role in such circumstances. The producers were very adamant, they wanted to cast me because the story has such requirements.” The actor shared the movie’s animated poster on his Instagram, quoting what seems like one of the dialogues in the caption. “Super excited to announce my first US-Indo Punjabi venture. Come be a part of the magical journey of Jee Ve Sohneya Jee. See you in cinemas [on] October 6.”
