Written by renowned screenwriter Bee Gul, it is a content based film featuring Khalid Ahmed, Samina Ahmed, Kaif Ghaznavi, Adnan Jaffer and theatre actor Raza Ali Abid.

Interestingly, this is an independent film made without the support of any company or channel as Samo wanted to have freedom and creativity to make it.

Samo began her acting career with regional television plays and radio dramas. She rose to fame with her breakthrough screen performance in Dewarain, a social drama on honour killings. She has directed several award winning dramas as well.

The acclaimed actor was congratulated by the industry’s starlets. Mahira Khan sent love her way and Mawra Hocane said she can’t wait for the film.

Nothing better than love and a bit of madness. All my love. Mubarak @sakinasamo ♥️ https://t.co/g5QECwIJrL
