The trailer for Mahira Khan’s debut production Barwaan Khiladi is out and the star power is dazzling! The much-awaited web series revolves around a small-town boy with dreams of playing cricket.
The series protagonist Akbar, played by Danyal Zafar, dreams of playing cricket at a national level. His perseverance eventually leads to his selection in the country’s biggest cricket league.
However, that’s where the smooth sailing ends as the young man faces dirty politics and corruption. In the trailer we see Akbar’s character standing up to Jahangir, played by Shahveer Jafry, after the latter nabs a crucial spot in the same team via unfair means. This places Akbar at the 12th, an additional player who came in solely on merit.
We see some good dialogues too like;
“Ye teri gali nae hai, baray match men bara Khiladi chalta hai” says Jahangir to Akbar.
As well as Akbar’s savage comeback at Jahangir saying;
“wadday pio di choti aulad.”
Aside from the Julie singer Barwaan Khiladi cast Sarmad Khoosath, Saba Faisal, Mira Sethi, Kinza Hashmi, Usman Peerzada, etc.
Special guest appearances in the series extend to Fawad Khan and Shoaib Malik. Fawad’s character is Akbar’s coach. So we’ll get to see him mentor Akbar in his coach avatar.
Barwaan Khiladi is directed by Adnan Sarwar, written by Shaid Dogar, and produced by Mahira and Nina Kashif. The web series is set to release on March 5th.
