Set in the picturesque Hunza Valley, Barzakh tells the story of a 76-year-old man who shocks his distant children and grandchildren by revealing his engagement to the ghost of his first love. This unexpected announcement sets off a chain of emotional confrontations as the family reunites, grappling with how to react to this extraordinary situation.
Talking about Barzakh in an exclusive conversation with Variety, 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.”
The series brings together Khan and Saeed for the first time since their successful show Zindagi Gulzar Hai (2012). "Working with Sanam after all these years still feels familiar and comfortable. I enjoyed the experience, and I have full confidence in her abilities. It always simplifies my work. I hope you find watching it as enjoyable as we found creating it," Khan commented.
