I was told by Tony Grisoni that he is well and still lives in England. That's all I know.
shareThe film was released in 2002, if Jamal was 16 then, isn't that true that he was supposed to leave in 2004 already, according to the few words by the end of the movie ?
If he still lives in England, does it mean he was granted asylum or immigrant status of some sort ?
I'd like to know that as well.
The night was sultry.
I'm guessing everyone watching the film wonders about this after reading the epilogue, unfortunately I haven't been able to find information in the Internet.

"In a case of life imitating art, after returning to Pakistan, Jamal Udin Torabi made the journey to London in reality and applied for asylum. He is now living with a family in South East London, although he was only granted leave to remain in the UK until his eighteenth birthday. Enayatullah used the money he earned on the film to buy a truck, and now runs an import-export business between Kabul and Peshawar"
