BARZAKH TO PREMIERE AT SERIES MANIA FESTIVAL IN FRANCE
In Barzakh, Fawad Khan will be seen playing the role of a single parent, while Sanam plays a mysterious yet compassionate character. Barzakh is the only selection from South Asia at the festival scheduled to be held in Lille, France in March.

ASIM ABBASI REACTS SPEAKS ABOUT BARZAKH
Thrilled at the selection, director Asim Abbasi said, “At its core, Barzakh is a family drama framed within a world of supernatural beings and other worldly events. The genesis of the story stemmed from a personal loss and the fears that came with it, making me realise that love is indeed eternal and nudging me to write a story about it. The selection of Barzakh at the Series Mania is such a momentous yet humbling occasion for all of us, not only because it’s a show that’s so close to my heart but also because the selection is such a strong validation of our belief in this story which is now finding its way amongst the best in the world."
Shot in the beautiful Hunza Valley in Pakistan, Barzakh blends together magical realism and supernatural fantasy within a family reunion setting, and deals with themes of love, loss and reconciliation.
