Only Pashto Film Scheduled for Eid Release Hits Screens in Peshawar

This Eidul Azha, just one Pashto-language film, Shan Pukhtoon, will be released in Peshawar cinemas, reflecting the declining state of the regional film industry. Produced by Shahid Khan and directed by Arbaaz Khan, the action-packed film features a cast of popular actors including Jahangir Khan, Ajab Gul, and Kiran Khan. Despite the festive occasion, cinema owners in Peshawar express concern over poor attendance and the industry’s financial struggles. With audiences increasingly turning to online platforms and fewer quality productions being made, Pashto cinema faces a challenging future.
