Pakistan's Beloved 'Ainak Wala Jin' Returns as an AI Film, and Fans Are Not Having It

Billed as the country's first fully AI-generated theatrical release, the animated revival of the iconic PTV children's serial has sparked a meme-fuelled backlash over rushed visuals and a stray Google Gemini watermark

"Ainak Wala Jin" is Pakistan's first fully AI-generated commercial feature film, which officially hit theaters nationwide on July 24, 2026.

"Ainak Wala Jin" is an 85-minute Urdu-language fantasy film that officially hit Pakistani theaters nationwide on July 24, 2026, earning distinction as Asia's first fully AI-generated commercial feature film. Directed by Farhan M. Khan and produced by Faisal Saleem in partnership with Pakistan Television (PTV), the movie leverages artificial intelligence instead of standard traditional animation pipelines to tell the story of a young boy who discovers his elderly neighbor is a powerful jin, embarking on a magical journey to the realm of Kokaf. While the project capitalizes on the nostalgic name of the legendary 1993 PTV children's television series, it presents an entirely new narrative without the original cast, sparking intense debate across social media. While public figures like Juggun Kazim have praised the film as a bold, pioneering technological milestone for local cinema, the production has faced severe backlash from the local creative community; Pakistani animators and viewers have criticized the visuals as unpolished "AI slop," arguing that relying on automated generation undermines the artistry, effort, and growth of traditional animation in Pakistan.

Fake Wedding Photos of Lamine Yamal and Girlfriend Flood Social Media

AI-generated images showing the 19-year-old FC Barcelona star in wedding attire alongside Inés García Santos went viral across TikTok and Instagram within hours of Spain's triumph

The viral internet rumor claiming that Spanish football star Lamine Yamal got married to an artificial intelligence (AI) is entirely false. This bizarre rumor is a product of separate social media trends that collided online after Spain's victory over Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final. First, the search trend spiked due to highly popular text-based roleplay chatbots on platforms like Character.AI. On these apps, fans created interactive simulation games featuring an "arranged marriage" storyline with a virtual Lamine Yamal, and screen recordings of these fictional chats quickly went viral on TikTok. Around the same time, sophisticated AI-generated deepfake videos emerged depicting a fictional romance and marriage proposal between Yamal and Argentine singer Nicki Nicole, which many users mistook for real news. Additionally, standard post-World Cup gossip accounts falsely claimed he married his girlfriend, lifestyle influencer Inés García Santos, often using AI-enhanced filters or sensationalized AI tags on their videos to gain views. Finally, the phrase "Lamine Yamal AI" was already heavily trending because of a viral, cinematic AI-generated video that recreated Lionel Messi's famous 2007 charity photoshoot with a baby Yamal, emotionally depicting Messi passing him the World Cup trophy. Ultimately, the 19-year-old winger is not married to anyone or any technology, and the entire narrative is just a mix-up of fan-made AI media, text simulators, and unverified internet gossip.

Why 'Ainak Wala Jin' The Movie Is Dividing Pakistani Cinema

Farhan Khan's fully AI-generated feature revives PTV's classic 'Ainak Wala Jin' but critics say its trailer echoes 'The Little Prince' and raises hard questions about Pakistani cinema's future

Awais Shaukat
The nostalgic 90s classic Ainak Wala Jin has officially crossed into the future with Asia's first AI-generated feature-length movie, releasing nationwide in Pakistani cinemas on July 24, 2026. Produced and directed by Farhan Khan, this groundbreaking 85-minute animated family adventure has been built entirely through advanced artificial intelligence tools to lower production costs while maintaining stunning, fast-paced digital visuals. The hype around this AI transformation initially ignited through a highly popular digital tribute series created by the content platform Reelwind. Reelwind began releasing episodic AI-animated shorts on YouTube and Instagram to honor the classic PTV characters, which generated viral nostalgia and paved the way for this cinematic breakthrough. The full-length theatrical film centers around a young boy navigating a rigid human world of rules until his eccentric, visually impaired neighbor—the gentle genie Nastoor—opens a magical portal into the mythical realm of Koh-e-Qaf. Iconic legacy characters like the hilarious Zakoota Jin, the mischievous Bil Batori, and the wicked sorcerer Hamoon Jadoogar have all been visually reimagined for a new generation through generative AI. Blending childhood nostalgia with next-gen automated animation technology, the film represents a historic, albeit polarizing, shift for Pakistan's digital film industry.
