The buzz surrounding digital star Rajab Butt’s transition to the silver screen has reached a whole new peak. As production moves forward on his highly anticipated cinema debut, the creator gave fans a charming behind-the-scenes look at the energetic atmosphere on set while introducing television actress Sumaiyya Bukhsh as the project’s new heroine.

A Warm Welcome and Lighthearted Set Culture

Introducing Sumaiyya to the rest of the crew, Rajab gave followers a glimpse into their easygoing rapport. The actress, who was marking her very first day of shooting, revealed that her schedule had already stretched from 8:00 AM until 4:30 PM.

When Sumaiyya asked if long hours were going to be a daily feature, the crew playfully confirmed that full shoot days are standard practice in movie making. Rajab chimed in with friendly banter, teasing that working with their team often means adjusting to an unpredictable rhythm—and even facing occasional lighthearted scoldings from team member Shazi’s father.

A New Chapter for Sumaiyya Bukhsh

While Sumaiyya has built a solid television career over the past seven years, this project marks her formal entry into feature films.

Addressing her leap to the big screen, Rajab joked about taking a gamble on bringing her aboard, to which Sumaiyya replied with quiet confidence, telling him to simply wait and see how her performance turns out.

She also shared her initial thoughts on co-star Dogar’s character, expressing that after seeing his overall look and on-screen persona, she believes his role has all the ingredients of a standalone hit.
