Pakistani superstars Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan’s mega-hit drama serial Humsafar is all set 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 dismissed 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 rejected the plea and advised the petitioner against being narrow-minded on the issue.
