Aadhi Gawahi (Hum TV) Azfar Rehman, Sohai Ali Abro & Ali Josh.

The handsome Azfar Rehman is to star next to the beautiful Sohai Ali Abrao in the upcoming drama serial "Aadhi Gawahi.

The duo already stars opposite to each other in the drama serial "Kaisi Yeh Paheli but it hasn't gained as much success as one would hope for.

However, this is a mega project penned down by Saima Akram, Aadhi Gawah. Being a Momina Duraid production, one can expect great things from the project.

Ayesha Sana is said to play the role of Azfar's character's mother. Senior actors including Saleem sheikh will be a part of this project, which furthermore emphasizes the potential for it being another hit Hum TV serial.

Seasoned television director, Fahim Burney and her muse, Sohai Ali Abro have joined hands, yet again. The Jawani Phir Nahi Ani-famed starlet, Sohai made her comeback of sorts earlier this year after an unannounced hiatus of over two years with Urdu1's ongoing drama serial, Kaisi Yeh Paheli, helmed by Burney and the dynamic duo now return with the socio-drama, Aadhi Gawai.

Penned down by Saima Akram, Aadhi Gawai is a Momina Duraid production that is slated to air on Hum TV. Currently being shot in the heart of Punjab, the serial will star Azfar Rehman, Ayesha Sana, Saleem Sheikh, model-turned-actress, Uzma Khan and features budding actor, Ali Josh as the male lead.

To find out more details about the serial, we got a hold of director extraordinaire, Fahim Burney to spill some beans for us. "I'm open to working with any actor at all, but I feel the understanding Sohai and I have has only increased over the passage of time, he says of his equation with the actress.

"I think she's brilliant at what she does; she puts her heart and soul into every project she takes up and is always able to deliver my directions exceptionally well. On a whole, Sohai is family, he adds, revealing that one of his personal favorite directorial, Kaisi Yeh Paheli also starred Abro as its protagonist.

Based on how influential and powerful men exploit and eventually harass nave middle-class women, Burney revealed that the serial kicks off with a similar track as Sohai's character falls prey of Azfar's interest, and when she opposes, she pays the consequences. However, instead of essaying a damsel-in-distress, tables turn as we'll see Sohai become the voice for the voiceless.

While Azfar and Sohai, have together given us a number of hits and memorable serials, Tumhari Natasha and Tanhai to name a few, the rumor mill was abuzz that the two had a fallout on the sets of their last outing. Rehman puts all the speculations to rest.

"They're all baseless. I think Sohai is supremely talented and it's always a pleasure working with her. In fact, I've came across so many Sohai-Azfar fan pages and its always a ball being on-set with her, she clarifies. "With Aadhi Gawai, I wanted people to see a different us. There's constant conflict, all of our scenes together are clashes, there's no love saga going on at.
