Film star Ali Zafar is teaming up with Yash Raj Films (YRF) for the forthcoming ‘Teefa In Trouble’.

The summer blockbuster Teefa In Trouble stars Ali and introduces Maya Ali to the silver screen and will release in Pakistan and worldwide on July 20.

Speaking about this milestone, Ali Zafar has said, “I have always believed that with faith, the right intentions, goodwill and hard work, you can achieve all of your dreams. Today I feel deeply humbled to have a huge dream fulfilled.

"To take our cinema global in the best possible manner and to do it with a company that is not just a company but an idea… that love transcends all.

“My relationship with YRF goes back to 2010 when I signed up for ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’, followed by ‘Kill Dil’. I have some of my best memories and experiences on those films. I still remember the time when the late Yashji asked me at lunch one day: “Oye to Lahore to ain, yeh kheer zuroor try kareen”.

“You are from Lahore, you must try this “kheer (rice pudding)”! I thought to myself that the man who has induced such sweetness in our lives through his stories is making sure that I leave with an even sweater taste in my mouth. It was surreal.

“But what is dreamlike is that the company he formed with so much love is now going to be spreading the same passion that we have tried to create in our first film to the entire world, making sure the film is seen globally.

“Thank you Yashji and Aditya Chopra, for your faith and guidance. More than an inspiration, you are an institution that nurtures talent like no one.

“I would deeply like to honour and thank Mr. Avtar Panesar for taking that belief and trust forward by choosing us as YRF’s first of sorts to officially distribute the film in international markets. I can’t wait for the world to watch Teefa In Trouble!”

Avtar Panesar, Vice President - International Operations Yash Raj Films said: “We have never distributed any film from Pakistan or from any other part of the world earlier; "And are extremely selective with the films we handle for our friends in India, we are very excited to see what Ahsan Rahim the director and Ali Zafar as producer and actor have done with Teefa In Trouble. It really was a no brainer.”
