You heard it here first, and now it’s official.
The cast and title of director Haseeb Hassan’s next feature film have been announced. Titled Aan, the film will mark the fourth Haseeb Hassan-Umera Ahmed collaboration. The duo has worked previously for a telefilm Laal, the drama Alif, and upcoming series titled Dhoop Ki Deewar.
Galaxy Lollywood had already broken the news about Fawad Khan and Zara Noor Abbas being signed on for the film with Sanam Saeed being strongly rumored to be a part of it. And now the film’s official cast has been announced with these three names headlining the project.
This will be the first time Sanam Saeed and Fawad Khan reunite for a project after their blockbuster drama Zindagi Gulzar Hai, which was also written by Umera Ahmed. The trio reuniting for a film is already sending waves of excitement within the fans of the drama and this pairing. The other names in the cast include Javed Shaikh, Navid Shehzad, Nayyar Ejaz, Naeem Tahir and Aly Khan among others.

In a message posted on her Instagram account, the film’s female lead Zara Noor Abbas sounded all stoked about the upcoming venture, and said: “Taking a moment here to thank God for this one. Extremely honored to be sharing the screen with Fawad Khan and the beautiful Sanam Saeed. Falling short of words here. So this is it for now. Keeping it authentic. The wait is finally over, and I’m all geared up to shoot for Haseeb Hassan‘s next venture – Aan.”
Aan will be set against the backdrop of Pakistan Navy and have “combat (sequences) and (a) touch of humor that makes it a complete package for the best cinematic experience.”. Haseeb’s first film had shown the life at Pakistan Air Force and his first collaboration with Umera Ahmed Laal also had the involvement of the Pakistan Navy. Thus this seems to be a familiar ground for the director and the writer to set their first film in.
The film is set to go on floors in April with a release date slated for later in the year.
