Barzakh Trailer: It is finally happening! The trailer of Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed’s Pakistani new show, Barzakh is finally here and it is all things trippy. The show brings the beloved Zindagi Gulzar Hai pair together for an experimental show. The trailer revealed that Fawad and Sanam are in for a supernatural ride which is coated with love. The series is set to stream on Zee5 and Zindagi’s YouTube channel in India.
The show is set against the picturesque valley of Hunza Valley. The show, as per the trailer, will revolve around the journey of a 76-year-old man who stuns his estranged children and grandchildren by announcing his wedding to the ghost of his first true love. This unconventional event sparks emotional revelations and confrontations as family members gather, unsure whether to celebrate or intervene.
Watch the Barzakh trailer below:
The show is directed by the visionary behind hit Pakistani titles ‘Churails’ and ‘Cake’, Asim Abbasi. Talking about his excitement to be a part of the show, Fawad Khan said, “After having seen Cake, when I was approached for Barzakh, I jumped at the opportunity. Asim’s work sets him apart as a very unique director whose emphasis is on character development in a way that is contemporary. Also, I’ve always wanted to attempt something out of the ordinary and Barzakh is nothing ordinary. It’s downright experimental and I love it.”
He added, “I’d like to keep the theme of the show a secret. It’s a family reunion under supernatural circumstances. That’s all I’ll say for now. Working with Sanam after all these years is still a comfort zone. I enjoyed it and I believe in her skills. It always makes my job easy. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed the process of making it.”
Sanam Saeed also shared, “Being part of ‘Barzakh’ has been an immensely rewarding experience for me. The show’s premise, which explores themes of family, love, loss, and the afterlife, fascinated me from the start. As an actor, I’m constantly seeking roles that challenge me and offer a fresh perspective on storytelling. ‘Barzakh’ does just that, presenting a narrative that transcends conventional boundaries and delves into the realms of the mystical and the unknown. From the minute Asim narrated the story to me, I instantly knew that I had to be a part of this project.”
“Asim has always been a person who tries to explore the unexplored, and this is why I have always been his fan. What excites me the most about this is reuniting with a stellar actor like Fawad and sharing the screen with Salman Shahid, Sajid Hasan and other Fawad who I’ve worked closely with in theatre. Shailja as a producer has been an absolute dream to work with as always. Now, with the global release of Barzakh, I cannot wait to take the viewers into the world of nowhere!” she added.
Barzakh releases on July 19.
