Ramsha Khan and Khushhal Khan's on-screen reunion in 'Biryani' has fans thrilled
Ramsha Khan and Khushhal Khan, two celebrated Pakistani actors, are reuniting on-screen after their breakout success in Green TV's intense revenge drama Duniyapur. Their undeniable chemistry made the series a massive hit, with each episode averaging around 10 million views on the relatively new channel. Following the conclusion of Duniyapur, fans began eagerly requesting to see the duo in a different setting, especially in a romantic comedy. And now, their wish is coming true. ARY Digital has just dropped the first teaser for Biryani, an upcoming rom-com featuring the popular pair. The new drama will replace Parwarish on the network and is produced by Fahad Mustafa and Dr. Ali Kazmi under the banner of Big Bang Productions. The script is penned by veteran writer Zafar Mairaj, known for his unique narratives and food-themed titles like 'Kabli Pulao' and 'Dampukht'. Direction is helmed by Badar Mehmood, the talent behind the gripping drama 'Cheekh'. As seen by the teaser that dropped on Monday, the story of 'Biryani' revolves around a kind-hearted, obedient young man who falls for a spirited, simple girl he meets at university. While the teaser keeps the plot details minimal, the tone is clearly light-hearted and full of charm - a contrast from the emotionally heavy themes of 'Duniyapur'. The teaser has already created buzz online, with fans sharing screenshots and reactions across social media. Particularly, netizens are celebrating the return of this on-screen duo, praising their chemistry and excitement for seeing them in a lighter, more playful narrative. One user wrote in the YouTube comments, 'So excited to see the Duniyapur couple together again! Ramsha and Khushal have such real, natural chemistry.' Others praised the teaser, saying 'The first look is so cinematic and so amazing. Looks incredible.' Intrigue around the drama title continues as one user questions, 'Why is this drama called Biryani? What is the relation between this drama and Biryani?' With anticipation building, all eyes are now on Biryani as fans await the full serving.

Mayi Re' director talks second instalment
Fan-favourite director Meesum Naqvi made an appearance in an episode of YouTube series, Gup Shup with FUCHSIA Magazine, where he answered fan questions such as whether Mayi Ri will have a second season and how Parwarish's script was developed. "When we created Mayi Ri, beautiful things like Aina and Samar happened," Naqvi said. "They gathered an insane fan following." After Mayi Ri, the production house wanted Naqvi to cast Aina Asif and Samar Jafri together again. Mayi Ri delved into the life of a 15-year-old schoolgirl who is compelled to marry her underage cousin. The show unravelled the devastating consequences of child marriages, which can shatter innocent childhoods forever. On the other hand, Parwarish touches upon the challenges of parenthood and turns the spotlight on the younger generation's ache for control and independence. Both shows have captivated viewers with their layered scripts and focus on meaningful societal issues. Naqvi shared that he did not want to make Mayi Ri 2. "What would even be the plot of it, that the couple does a halala and is back together?" he asked. "That would not have made sense." "I made the show against child marriage, and I cannot have negated that just because people wanted the two back together. There will be no Mayi Ri 2 because I have told a complete story," clarified the director. Naqvi still wanted to make something with the two of them together, and Parwarish was created. The director was not fully on board with Parwarish at the start. "Two years after Mayi Ri, I didn't have any ongoing projects. Someone in the production house asked, 'Why not Parwarish?' The script wasn't complete at the time so I was a bit hesitant. The people at the production encouraged me to give it a go. Eventually, I gave it a read and loved it!" Regarding the two main leads, Aina had a bit of scheduling issues but made it work. For Samar's background, the director shared, "We were always sure that Samar would play the character of Wali. The character was designed keeping him in mind, from his music background to his personality traits." Calling upon repetitive storytelling, the director revealed, "We initially considered turning Nooray Zeeshan into one of the heroines and creating a proper love triangle. I didn't do it because I did not want to show cousin marriages on screen. We had seen enough of this in Mayi Ri."
