Prior to its world premiere at the Series Mania Festival, the creators of Barzakh, starring Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed unveiled the show poster in the French city of Lille. It is helmed by critically acclaimed director Asim Abbasi, who along with Sanam Saeed graced the event with their presence. Barzakh also has the distinct honour of being the only series selected from South Asia. “It is simply surreal to be attending the Series Mania Festival. Barzakh is a story that I connected with from the minute I heard it and in Asim Abbasi’s hands, it’s been crafted into a moving, beautiful series that will renew our faith in love and life. It’s what led me to not only take on the challenging role but also made me look at life in a different light. It is very different from what we have seen on screen and all the actors have performed extremely different diverse roles. I am so proud of this series and am honoured that it is having its world premiere at the Series Mania Festival,” said Sanam Saeed.
