“Eshal Fayyaz will be playing the lead opposite Sami Khan, who was part of the project since the beginning,” he told instep on the sidelines of a recent event. “We have begun shooting for it; 30 per cent of the shoot is done and we plan to release it on Eid ul Azha this year.”

Initially, Farhan Saeed was supposed to be making his big screen debut with Kaaf Kangana but it didn’t materialize. This was followed by the news of Sohai Ali Abro playing the titular role of Kangana while Urwa Hocane was also taken on board for the same role but none of them are part of the film anymore.
“Earlier Farhan was there but unluckily he is not there anymore,” the acclaimed writer-director added.
Aside from Kaaf Kangana, Khalil ur Rehman is also writing a film for Humayun Saeed, that will be directed by Nadeem Baig. He earlier collaborated with the duo for Punjab Nahi Jaungi that turned out to be huge success at the box office.
