Jai played by Asad Shan, who is in search of a better life, who’s left
behind a family burdened with debt from loan sharks to get there. While
there he meets best friend Goldie (Aliakbar Campwala) and his lady love
Simran (Sabeeka Imam) and whilst his new life in London starts smoothly,
the murky world and it’s shady characters threaten to derail Jai and
suddenly not all is as smooth and silky as he had wished…Can
7 Welcome To London break through to audiences? Is this the arrival of a new hybrid genre? Read on to find out…
