The premier started at around 8:00 PM at the Nuplex cinema Karachi. It was arranged by Osman Rehman                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The Film cast includes Osama Tahir, Saira Sheroz, Kent S Leung, Faris Khalid, Mansha Pasha, Zhalay Sarhidi and Behroz Subzwari. Samim Hilali is also set to play an important role in the movie as the story unfolds.

"Chalay Thay Sath" is very different from "Janaan": Syra Yousuf                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Mubashir continued to tell us about the romantic drama/comedy (as the director and writer, Umer Adil, likes to put it) while Mansha Pansha, Zhalay Sarhadi, Shameem Hilaly, and Osama Tahir nodded encouragingly. At this point, you must be wondering, "What about Syra Shahroze and Kent S Leung?" Well, Syra came towards the end of the exclusive preview, hence, missed the chance to interact with journalists and we have a strong feeling that International actor, Leung, will have his own 'exclusive preview'.

                                                                                                                                                   

After seeing the teaser, one might feel that the film revolves around a road trip of four friends - (Mansha Pasha, Syra Shahroz, Faris Khalid, and Osama Tahir) - but the makers assured that there is more to CTS than what meets the eye, such as Zhalay Sarhadi, whose character in the film has us intrigued as not much about her has been released. Time and (trailers) will tell, we're guessing!

"CTS features a road trip, yes, but more importantly it introduces you to the culture of Gilgit-Baltistan, a love story, and friendship," shared the director and producer, Umer Adil. "It is a unique Pakistani film and it explores different relationships. Hopefully, the audience will love it."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

The love story of Kent and Syra's characters is an essential part of CTS and we say it's unconventional because he is a Chinese guy. While we've often seen films show desi girls/boys fall for goras - they usually belong to first world countries like America or England. This will be the first time that we'll see a Pak-China love story and this sounds promising.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Don't worry, you won't be bombarded with subtitles because Shamim Hilaly was kind enough to confirm, "Thankfully, Kent knows English warna masla hojata"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

From Pak-China love story, let's move to the friendship between the two countries, which is often under-rated.

"We've seen films that highlight our relationship with the US and even Afghanistan, but we wanted to focus on Pakistan and China's relationship," the director explained.

We often take our friends for granted and this is probably what Pakistan has been doing with China so far, but CTS will change that. This, however, doesn't mean that the movie is an ISPR-funded project, but yes, the ISPR was informed about the project.
