All the major industries in the world are hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with all its socio-economic consequences, the film industry in Pakistan is one that has taken a damaging blow in its resurging phase. The future of cinema in Pakistan is in doldrums as year 2020 may not witness a single big banner film (at least not in the first half of the year). In these uncertain times, Muhib Mirza is showing us a ray of hope for the cinema by officially revealing the cast of his upcoming film, Ishrat Made in China.
Sanam Saeed has clarified on her Instagram that these are a glimpse from of the official cast reveal, not character looks:

Few of the cast members and crew of Ishrat Made in China were stuck in Thailand nearly two months ago after finishing their shooting schedule. The ordeal started as Pakistan went into lockdown, cancelling all flights in and out of the country. Later, following constant appeals by the actors, the government arranged a flight for their safe return on April 14.
