Historical background
Agha G. A. Gul first established Evernew Studios in 1937. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the Hindu owner, Dalsukh Pancholi, of Pancholi Art Pictures Studios in Lahore, British India migrated to Bombay. So Agha G. A. Gul took over these abandoned studios and consolidated and renamed them as Evernew Studios in Lahore, Pakistan. Later, it became a sprawling 40-acre studio.[1] Pakistani film industry, at its peak in the 1970s and 1980s, used to make over 100 films in a year.[1][4][5][6]
