Inspector Jamshed is heading to cinemas in IJ: The Secret Parchment. There is just one complication: I created another Pakistani action hero called Jamshed in 1996. Here is how that happened
So apparently there are now two Pakistani action heroes called Jamshed. One is Inspector Jamshed, a detective who first appeared in Ishtiaq Ahmed’s Urdu novels more than half a century ago and is now becoming the star of a major international action movie. The other is Jamshed Khan, a Pakistani ISI intelligence agent whom I created back in 1996 and who is now the hero of my thriller novel, Silent Ruin.
