“When the biggest enemy of Love is love itself”
The evening began with a visual presentation of Imam Zamin ‘s OST & Teasers. Later, host of the event “Sehwar Rahim” introduced cast and the crew including project head “Khalil Ullah Farooqi” director Shahid Zahoor & writer Zafar Mairaj.
The memorable OST is written by poet Sabir Zafar, composed by the famous Sahir Ali Bagga and sung by none other than melodious singers Ayma Baig and Sahir.

“I was working on this project for quite a while and one day on the roof top of TVOne with Khalil Ullah Farooqi I explored the atmosphere especially the nearby apartments and the stories related to the people living in them.
