The Next Salahuddin is a 2025 Pakistani feature film created entirely using artificial intelligence (AI). It is recognized as Pakistan’s first fully AI-generated feature film. The film was written and directed by Farhan Siddiqui and produced by Ustadh Asim Ismail Jinn TV. The project marks a milestone in Pakistan’s film industry by demonstrating the use of AI tools across storytelling, visuals, and cinematic production.[1]
The film draws thematic inspiration from the legacy of the 12th-century Muslim leader Salahuddin Ayyubi, exploring ideas of justice, leadership, moral responsibility, and resistance against oppression in a modern context. Rather than presenting a historical biography, the narrative reflects on contemporary struggles and questions whether a leader embodying similar values can emerge in the present era.[2]
The Next Salahuddin was produced entirely through artificial intelligence technologies, without the use of physical actors, traditional filming locations, or live sets. AI tools were employed for visual generation, scene composition, and narrative development. According to the filmmakers, the AI-driven approach was intended to reduce production costs and logistical limitations while opening new creative possibilities for Pakistani cinema.[3]
The film premiered on 19 December 2025 at Nueplex Cinema in Karachi. Following its premiere, it was released in cinemas across Pakistan. The filmmakers also announced plans for international screenings and submissions to global film festivals, along with multilingual versions to reach wider audiences.[4]
The film focuses on themes of peace, justice, human dignity, and unity. Commentators noted its emphasis on ethical leadership and humanitarian values, positioning the project as a socially conscious narrative rather than conventional commercial cinema.[5]
Media coverage described The Next Salahuddin as a landmark achievement for Pakistan’s film industry, highlighting its experimental use of artificial intelligence and its potential influence on future digital filmmaking practices in the region.[6]
The film had a limited theatrical run and was not listed on the screening schedule of major multiplex chains such as Nueplex during its release period. Nueplex Cinemas[7]
