Indian channel Zee Zindagi has started airing Pakistani drama Abdullahpur Ka Devdas. The drama is written by Shahid Dogar and directed by Anjum Shahzad, the same team behind Akhara. Abdullahpur Ka Devdas has Bilal Abbas Khan and Sarah Khan as the leads Fakhar and Gulbano while Raza Talish, Savera Nadeem, Nauman Ijaz, Noor ul Hassan Muhammad, Ali Ansari, Arjumand Rahim, Fazal Hussain, Nida Mumtaz, Saad Qureshi and Anoushay Abbasi are also in important characters. The first episode came out on YouTube last night after Zee Zindagi decided to stream it for the Pakistani audience.
Bilal Abbas Khan aka Fakhar is friends with Raza Talish aka Kashif and they are more like brothers. The Devdas angle is already activated and there are some interesting political dynamics interwoven in the story. Sarah Khan looks ethereal as Gulbano and Gulbano has already met her Devdas in the very first episode. The pace of the story was incredible and let’s see how it moves forward.
Here is how much people are loving Bilal Abbas Khan in Abdullahpur Ka Devdas:
