For every Pakistani who grew up in the ’90s, the phrase “Ainak Wala Jinn aa gaya!” instantly brings back a wave of nostalgia. The hit PTV children’s show “Ainak Wala Jinn” wasn’t just entertainment — it was a magical world of friendship, fun, and imagination. And now, decades later, that childhood wonder has made a grand comeback — this time, through the power of artificial intelligence (AI).
The Nostalgic Return of a Classic
PTV recently re-released the original episodes in enhanced quality, rekindling fond memories for audiences across Pakistan. However, what truly reignited the nation’s excitement was an AI-driven remake by creative duo Javeria Rasheed and Hashim Naveed, founders of Reelwind. Passionate fans of the original show, they wanted to blend the innocence of the past with modern digital innovation.
What started as a single experimental episode quickly turned into a viral sensation after the teaser song was released online. Fans from all generations flooded social media with emotional tributes, sharing how the show shaped their childhoods.
AI Brings Zakoota and Bill Batori Back to Life
Recreating iconic characters like Nastoor Jinn, Zakoota, Bill Batori, and Hamoon Jadugar was no easy task. Using advanced AI tools, the team carefully revived each character’s look and personality. “We didn’t just want to recreate faces — we wanted to revive emotions,” said Javeria. Every detail, from Zakoota’s goofy grin to Nastoor’s iconic eyebrows, was meticulously designed to stay true to the original charm.
A Magical Bridge Between Generations
The AI remake introduces a new mother-son duo, connecting the nostalgic world of Ainak Wala Jinn to the modern digital era. Hashim shared, “It’s amazing to see grandparents, parents, and children watching it together. That’s the real magic of Ainak Wala Jinn.”
Technology Meets Emotion
With official approval from PTV and blessings from the show’s original director Hafiz Tahir, this AI revival has become more than a digital project — it’s a cultural bridge. Through technology, Javeria and Hashim have reignited a piece of Pakistani childhood magic, proving that nostalgia and innovation can beautifully coexist.
