Khuda ke Liye is a landmark movie.  It is the first Pakistani movie in a long time to be released in India.  Its star cast includes Naseeruddin Shah in a cameo as the Islamic scholar who clarifies the Islamic tenets to the court.  The movie weaves together three stories — of a pop singer who comes under the influence of Islamic extremists, a Briton of Pakistani origin who is forcibly married to her cousin and a man illegally detained in the US after the Sept 11 attacks.

The movie is directed by Shoaib Mansoor and the actors are Shaan, Fawad Khan, Iman Ali, Alex Edwards, and Rasheed Naz.
