Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed are one of the favourite onscreen couples of the fans. They were seen together in Zindagi Gulzar Hai. The show still holds a special place in the minds of the audience. And now after so many years, they are coming together for another show Barzakh. The series will start from July 19.
The show is directed by Asim Abbasi. Barzakh is about the journey of a 76-year-old man who invites his estranged children and grandchildren to his remote valley resort to celebrate an extraordinary and unconventional event—his wedding with the ghost of his first true love. This emotionally profound narrative makes viewers think about life’s mysteries, what happens after death, and the deep feeling of love that ties us together.
Director Asim Abbasi said, “All storytellers dream of moments like this in their career, where they are allowed to run wild. Barzakh is just that – me running wild through this forest of fear and hope and magic – to create something a little bit spiritual and a whole lot of trippy. It’s a story about love and faith. About humans desperately looking for connections and meaning. Fragile, broken souls, looking to hold on to whatever they can, to make sense of this big, bad, beautiful thing called life. Thanks to Shailja and Zindagi, Barzakh has truly been a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. And whilst I hope the six hours of this series thoroughly mesmerise and entertain audiences; more than that, I hope that the ‘Land of Nowhere’ changes a small part of their heart, in an unexpected way. The way it changed so many of us, involved in its making.”
Alongside Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed, the 6-episode series cast include Salman Shahid, M. Fawad Khan, Eman Suleman, Khushhal Khan, Faiza Gillani, Anika Zulfikar, Franco Giusti among others. Produced by Shailja Kejriwal and Waqas Hassan, with cinematography by Mo Azmi, Barzakh is a collaborative effort of visionary talents in the industry.
