Shehroz Sabzwari, Syra Yousuf sign on for a film about winning back an ex-lover

Pakistani actors Syra Yousuf and Shehroz Sabzwari have reportedly decided to go forth with their new movie about winning the love of an ex-lover and the internet is in a frenzy.

Despite not wanting to give away the name of the project, director Omar Essa issued a public statement on the on-screen partnership, in reference to changing Covid-19 laws.

He told Dawn Images, "I am not keeping any expectations as of now. With the condition of our industry/business models, thinking about it will just make me 'chirchira'. That's not a good place to be when I am still in the creative process.”

"I have done a reasonably good job in filming I feel, but things can still go wrong in post production. So let's keep praying for the best. We are not their 'khandan walay'. We have a professional relationship and they believe in the project. They have worked hard towards it, especially Syra.”

He concluded by adding, "The role required a lot from her, physically and emotionally. Even if we had started production after their problems, I like to believe they would have still done the project."
