CEO of ARY Jerjees Seja also shared the news on his Instagram.
“News alert! The biggest blockbuster of all time #JPNA2 becomes the first ever Pakistani movie to cross Rs.70 Crores at the Global box office!”
Last year when the film reached a benchmark, we reached out to director Nadeem Baig and he said,
“Our goal is to entertain the audience whether it’s through comedy, romance or drama. The success of our films has given us the assurance that perhaps we are on the right track as far as choosing the premise of the movie is concerned.â€
