Posted September 14, 201014 yr West Is West, the sequel to the hilarious East Is East is set to premiere at the London Film Festival on 19th October 2010! West Is West is set in Manchester in 1976, and includes the return of original cast members OM PURI, LINDA BASSETT, JIMI MISTRY, LESLEY NICOL, EMIL MARWA, and introducing AQUIB KHAN. The now much diminished, but still claustrophobic and dysfunctional, Khan family continues to struggle for survival. Sajid, the youngest Khan, the runt of the litter, is deep in pubescent crisis under heavy assault both from his father's tyrannical insistence on Pakistani tradition, and from the fierce bullies in the schoolyard. So in a last attempt to ‘sort him out’, his father decides to pack him off to Mrs Khan No 1 and family in the Punjab, the wife and daughters he had abandoned 30 years earlier. It is not long before Ella Khan [Mrs Khan No 2], with a small entourage from Salford, England, swiftly follows to sort out the mess, past and present. West Is West will open in cinemas in the UK in February 2011!
