Jannat premieres in Pakistan

When Mahesh Bhatt [ Images ] took his new release, Jannat [ Images ], to Pakistan, they got everything they wanted -- a grand reception and media hype. 

To support them were none other than Pakistani cricketers Imran Khan [ Images ] and Wasim Akram [ Images ]. Pakistani actor Shaan [ Images ] (Khuda Ke Liye) also joined in the celebrations.

The film's premiere, held at Gulistan cinema, Lahore [ Images ], saw almost 2,000 people.

Jannat star Emran Hashmi got the same treatment in Lahore that Shah Rukh Khan [ Images ] gets in India [ Images ]. The Pakistani media followed Emraan from the time he came to Lahore, until he left.
