There have been many feature stories loved by the audience specifically because of the chemistry between the leading actors, the connection the viewers could feel is immense. One such equation could be seen between Pakistani actors Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed in Zindagi Gulzar Hai. Sanam Saeed says that reuniting after a decade with Fawad for the fresh show Barzakh was a seamless experience as both have furnished more as an actor over the years.
Fawad and Sanam starrer web series have been helmed by Asim Abbasi’s Barzakh, which is a Zindagi Original which is interestingly the only selection from the South Asian division to be premiered in the Series Mania festival in France, next month. The Pakistani show, bankrolled by Shailja Kejriwal and Waqas Hassan, will star Fawad in the garb of a single parent, who is “charming but ridden with guilt for what he has lost.” While Sanam is in the female lead character, “who is mysterious as well as compassionate.”
While speaking to Indian Express, Sanam said it was a “pleasure to work with Fawad”. “We are working together after nine years, so we started from where we left off. Obviously, we have grown older, grown more mature, our craft has evolved, so there are more things to throwback at each other as actors, to surprise each other.”
“The equation didn’t change,” Sanam said, adding further that Fawad and she are extremely professional actors, who respect “each other’s space and allow each other to thrive.”
“We do our job with mutual respect, happiness and joy. That makes it pleasure to work together. People who have egos, or are insecure, that makes it difficult– but there is no such problem here. You just pick up from where you left off because there is mutual love and respect,” she included.
Sanam mentioned that her feature along with Fawad will be a exploration which has not been tapped before. “This time it is a very different dynamic, I hope people are ready for a different dynamic, because it is beautiful, stunning, breathtaking. It is very different from what we have seen on screen and all the actors have performed extremely different, diverse roles. I hope we are able to get the audiences to understand different types of acting, different roles we can play instead of typecasting us,” she added.
