A New Era for Humsafar
The popular Pakistani TV series Humsafar, starring Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan, is about to make a big leap from screen to stage in India. This stage adaptation comes as a part of a cultural initiative to enhance Indo-Pak relations, following recent positive changes by the Indian High Court and Supreme Court.
Details of the Stage Adaptation
Imran Zahid, a well-known theatre and film actor, has confirmed that talks are in progress with HUM TV to secure the rights for a stage version of Humsafar. These discussions are being led by Momina Duraid, the creative force behind the series and the CEO of MD Productions.
Zahid mentioned that both sides have tentatively agreed to proceed with the project. The performance will be offered free of charge, aiming to promote cultural harmony rather than serve as a commercial venture. This initiative highlights a commitment to fostering peace between India and Pakistan.
Key Figures Involved
Sultana Siddiqui, the founder and president of HUM TV, and the mother-in-law of Momina Duraid, is also involved in the discussions. Her participation underscores the dedication of HUM TV to making this project a reality.
What’s Next?
We expect an official announcement about the stage adaptation of Humsafar soon. This project represents an exciting opportunity to bridge cultural divides and celebrate the story’s universal appeal. Keep an eye out for further updates on this groundbreaking initiative.
