“Barzakh,” filmed in the vibrant city of Karachi and the stunning Hunza Valley, offers a captivating blend of magical realism and supernatural fantasy. According to Abbasi, the series mirrors the themes explored in his film “Cake,” focusing on a family reunion setting and delving into themes of love, loss, and reconciliation.
Produced by Shailja Kejriwal and Waqas Hassan, “Barzakh” stands out not only for its unique narrative but also for its competition in several prestigious categories at the festival, including audience and student jury awards, best series, best director, best actress, and best actor. This recognition reflects the series’ potential to make a significant impact and highlights the talent and creativity of those involved in its creation.
Known as one of the finest artists in Pakistani showbiz, Saeed recently shared a glimpse of the world premiere of her upcoming web series, which is an enormous achievement regarding her journey from television screens to the silver screen and now shining at the global level.
For the big night, Saeed opted for a black figure-hugging pantsuit with embellished detailing at the waist. “World Premiere of the first two episodes of our series Barzakh. It was such a privilege to be representing South Asia here at this incredible Series Mania festival”, captioned the actor.
Why Sanam Saeed No to ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai‘ Sequel
After twelve years, Pakistani actors Sanam Saeed Mirza and Fawad Khan are set to share the screen again in the highly anticipated web series “Barzakh,” following their iconic performances in “Zindagi Gulzar Hai.” In a recent interview with News18, Sanam Saeed addressed the possibility of a sequel to “Zindagi Gulzar Hai,” stating that it’s unlikely. She mentioned that the original series’ magic wouldn’t be the same if a sequel were made because the characters Zaroon and Kashaf are now married with children, making their romantic dynamic less engaging. Sanam emphasized the importance of not dragging successful projects and expressed her preference for moving on to new ventures rather than revisiting past ones.
