It reunites the fan-favorite on-screen couple Danish Taimoor and Hiba Bukhari in a visually grand story dealing with power dynamics and hidden truths, shot across international locations including Turkey, the USA, and London.
- Bas Tera Sath Ho: Directed by Qasim Ali Mureed and written by Saira Raza, this serial brings together Farhan Saeed and Sana Javed in a deeply resonant story about resilience and silent struggle.
