Arth 2 is an upcoming venture of the Lollywood cinema featuring mega stars such as Shaan Shahid, Humayun Saeed and Humaima Malick. The movie is an attempt to reunite the Indian and Pakistani cinema and establish goodwill among the people of both the countries. The movie is a remake of the Indian movie ‘Arth’ by Mahesh Bhatt and is a direction of Shaan Shahid. It has been produced by Farhad Humayun. Uzma Hassan is also among the actors to be seen in this movie.
Shaan was grateful to Mahesh Bhatt for his support in this movie who was more than willing to assist in the development of this movie. Shaan said that his support was reflective of his willingness to remove all negative emotions between the two countries. He also admired the personality of Mahesh Bhatt, stating that he was a true visionary and a good person at heart.
Shaan hoped that this movie will urge the governments to rethink about their cultural policies as this will be a first collaboration between the Indian and Pakistani governments. He also requested the Indian cultural ministry to recognize this movie as the first Indo-Pak venture. He hoped that the Indian government will encourage the release of this film in India also and will not create a negative atmosphere on its release.
The music and promo of this movie have been scheduled for release in August 2014, while the movie will be released in 2015.
