Still from Barzakh

Zee Zindagi is making it happen again as it is bringing together Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed in an interesting show called Barzakh. The stars will come together once again after their chemistry was loved and appreciated in Zindagi Gulzar Hai. The makers teased the new web show with six official posters, teasing the storyline of the project.

The show is directed by Asim Abbasi, the creative mind behind Churails and Cake, a film that went as Pakistan’s official entry for Oscars in its year of release.

Barzakh has previously premiered at the Series Mania Festival in France and will be available for viewing on July 19 on Zindagi’s YouTube and ZEE5.

Plotline of Barzakh

Barzakh follows the journey of a 76-year-old reclusive man who invites his estranged children and grandchildren to his remote valley resort to celebrate an extraordinary and unconventional event—his wedding with the ghost of his first true love.

It will explore themes of mental health, postpartum depression, generational trauma and gender inclusivity through a gripping narrative that challenges societal conventions. It also delves into the profound role of folklore in the complex tapestry of human existence, prompting viewers to contemplate life's nuances.

The series unfolds against the backdrop of the picturesque Hunza Valley, which is known for its pristine beauty.

Barzakh will have a six-episode run with cast including Salman Shahid, M. Fawad Khan, Eman Suleman, Khushhal Khan, Faiza Gillani, Anika Zulfikar, Franco Giusti among others.

Barzakh is produced by Shailja Kejriwal and Waqas Hassan, with cinematography by Mo Azmi.

Director Asim Abbasi said, “All storytellers dream of moments like this in their career, where they are allowed to run wild. Barzakh is just that - me running wild through this forest of fear and hope and magic - to create something a little bit spiritual and a whole lot of trippy. It's a story about love and faith. About humans desperately looking for connections and meaning. Fragile, broken souls, looking to hold on to whatever they can, to make sense of this big, bad, beautiful thing called life."
