About Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad Movie:
The film title and genre were announced on 26 August 2019 by Filmwala Pictures’ duo Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza, with Fahad Mustafa joining on 18 September while Mahira Khan on 22 October. While this is Mustafa’s fifth collaboration with the filmmakers, Khan joined the team for the first time as a lead for this film as she had few other options with them too.
Filming took place in Karachi in December 2019 and wrapped on 15 February 2020 with more than 50 days of principal photography. Initially planned for release on Eid al-Adha, August 2020, the film then went into the post-production phase, but the release got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan as the filmmakers refused to release it digitally due to being a big-budget film.
The lead character posters were revealed on 14 August 2020. Mustafa did most of the stunts himself and endured multiple injuries, including a serious one in his heel, and he did not allow the stunt double as he plays a corrupt cop; the film title is the term used to define the act of bribery, a social issue in Pakistan.
Khan especially learned to ride a bike for the film as she plays an animal lover; to define her character, different animals were in this film, including lion, dogs, parrot, hamster, donkey, crocodile, and snake; all the animals were taken care by Azlan Shah, an animal enthusiast.
The film went through three different studios for VFX; Artlab, Sharp Image, and Postistan.The teaser, released on 17 October, announced the film release to be on Jinnah’s Birthday weekend, 25 December 2020, but it got postponed once again due to the policies by the National Command and Operation Center until the next decision in October 2021.
