Fawad Khan
Let’s admit it. Many of us have been watching countless re-runs of Khoobsurat (2014) and Zindagi Gulzar Hai only to have our fill of Fawad Khan. Looks like that is about to change as the Pakistani sensation is set to make a comeback on Indian screens, five years after his appearance in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016). mid-day has learnt that the actor will headline Zindagi’s next original, a yet-untitled show that blends magical realism and supernatural fantasy within the setting of a family reunion. The show, which has already gone on floors, is being helmed by Asim Abbasi who previously directed the heartwarming Cake (2018) and the much talked-about series Churails (2020). Fawad reunites with Zindagi Gulzar Hai co-star Sanam Saeed, who plays the central female character in the series. Harboring otherworldly secrets, she takes it upon herself to heal, and make whole, everyone who surrounds her.
Having burst on the Bollywood scene with Khoobsurat in 2014, Khan soon became a sought-after face, featuring in Kapoor and Sons (2016) and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Aditya Dhar’s Raat Baaki, featuring Katrina Kaif and bankrolled by Karan Johar, was to be the actor’s next. However, the project was put on hold following the 2016 Uri attacks that triggered an industry-wide ban on Pakistani artistes. It was then that Zindagi that would previously air Pakistani content, shut operations. The channel was resurrected mid-last year as an arm of ZEE5, and relaunched with Abbasi’s Churails.
