Plot
Main Julian England is about a man named Aftab (Iftikhar Thakur), who is marrying a woman from England and plans to stay there. It is a sequel to the 2006 telefilm (Miki Kharo England) in which Aftab is rejected by his cousin Tina who wants to marry one of his friends Shahid "Shedu" (Anjum Malik) instead. Following her rejection, Aftab's aunt (Tina's mother) promises to Aftab and his mother that she will get him married to someone in England, and so Main Julian England shows "Shedu" and Tina's marriage and Aftab marrying a woman living in England, and another friend of theirs, Mithu (Shahzada Ghaffar), also getting married and planning to move to England. Great comedy brews as the three childhood friends begin planning their move to England.
Popularity
Miki Kharo England and Main Julian England were both first aired by DM Digital, and although DM Digital didn't show much of the movie and instead took it as an opportunity to make money as a result of taking live calls, most of which were people complaining about the amount of the drama being shown, the telefilm was very popular and successful amongst the Pothwari/Mirpuri community. It is also rumoured that there will be a third sequel after the success of the first two, but these rumours are still unconfirmed.
