Meanwhile, the Netflix show also stars Sanam Saeed in a key role. Fawad and Sanam have worked in the hit Pakistani serial Zindagi Gulzar Hai.

As per the Variety report, the storyline of Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo revolves around a Harvard law student named Sikandar, and Liza, who is an artist with a difficult past. Things take a drastic turn when Sikandar “experiences a life-changing incident” and then meets Liza in Italy.

The report added that the series will be shot extensively in Pakistan, Italy and the UK.

Fawad and Mahira were also seen in the superhit Pakistani film The Legend Of Maula Jatt. The Bilal Lashari film was released in October 2022. It was also the highest-grossing Pakistani film of all time, reported Variety.
