Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan’s hit ‘Humsafar’ will get stage adaption in India.
Famous Pakistani actors Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan’s blockbuster drama serial Humsafar is all ready to get stage adaption in India, particularly, to promote ‘Indo-Pak peace’ following recent decisions by the Indian High Court and Supreme Court, theatre and film actor Imran Zahid confirmed to Indian media.
If the readers are unversed, last year, in a landmark decision, the Bombay High Court rejected a petition seeking a ban on Indian citizens, companies, and associations from engaging Pakistani artists: however, after the high court’s dismissal, the petitioner approached the Indian Supreme Court which also dismissed the plea and advised the petitioner against being conservative on the issue.
Meanwhile, in the latest report by Zoom, Indian film actor, Imran Zahid, verified the news of the Indian stage adaptation of the Pakistani series.
