Jami famously dumped all his LSAs in the street in the wake of Me Too movement, after jury denied to revoke Ali Zafar's nominations at 18th Lux Style Awards. Previously many women had come forward with harassment allegations against Ali.[11]

Controversies

In 2018, he faces controversy over his upcoming production "Jugnu." Student Ahmad Baig from the National College of Arts (NCA) alleges that Jami copied the idea from his 2016 film, "Ibbo Ki Eid." Baig claims similarities and posts a side-by-side comparison.[12] Jami refutes the allegations, asserting that research for "Jugnu" began in 2014, predating Baig's work. He emphasizes the personal nature of "Jugnu" and questions the existence of Baig's film online.[13]

In October, 2019 Jami, accused Hameed Haroon, CEO of Dawn, of rape.[14] Jami took to Twitter, naming Haroon and stating that he was ready to share his story. In response, Haroon filed a defamation case against Jami, denying the allegations and claiming the story was fabricated to silence him. [15]
