Muneeb Butt and Amna Ilyas to Debut in Punjabi Movie ‘Seylum’

Pakistani actors Muneeb Butt and Amna Ilyas are set to make their Punjabi film debut with the upcoming action-packed movie Seylum, a production by Jehan Films, known for its work on the hit film Zarrar. Directed and written by Abu Aleeha, Seylum is expected to begin filming next week, with scenes planned across diverse locations, including Lahore, Kallar Kahar, Nathiagali, Cholistan, and Bahawalpur.

The news of this unique casting combination has generated a significant buzz on social media, with fans and Punjabi cinema enthusiasts expressing their excitement. “I can’t wait for the film. Pakistan rarely makes Punjabi films,” commented one eager fan. However, the casting has also sparked some debate, with others voicing concerns about the actors’ proficiency in Punjabi dialects. “For the love of God, take Punjabi actors for Punjabi movies. It’s painful to hear their accent!” one user remarked, though many fans remain enthusiastic about the project.

According to sources, Seylum is scheduled for an Eidul Fitr release next year and is anticipated to be one of Pakistan’s most expensive Punjabi films, second only to The Legend of Maula Jatt. The complete cast list for Seylum will be revealed next week, adding to the excitement surrounding this high-profile project.
