Content studio Applause Entertainment and production company Zindagi on Monday said "Joyland" star Sarwat Gilani will headline their maiden project "Farar", a web series directed by Mehreen Jabbar.
The show marks the first collaboration under the partnership of Applause Entertainment and Zindagi, which was announced last week.
According to the makers, "Farar" is a "riveting story of human emotions". It will have its world premiere at the 14th Annual Chicago South Asian Film Festival (CSAFF) 2023 as the marquee web series of the gala.
Set in the sprawling Pakistani city of Karachi, the six-part series tells the story of three independent women navigating the complexities of modern life.
Presented by Applause Entertainment, "Farar" highlights the universal human experiences of friendship, love, and personal growth, while simultaneously tackling issues such as societal pressures, identity, taboos, and body shaming, according to a press release.
A Zindagi original, the show will be screened on September 23 as part of the four-day festival programme in Chicago. The premiere will be attended by Jabbar, Gilani, and producers Shailja Kejriwal and Umnia Iftikhar.
Gilani, also known for Zindagi series "Churails" and "Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam", said being part of "Farar" has been a journey of exploration and dedication.
