Set to premiere on March 11 on ZEE5 Global, the show paints a real picture of love for the viewers.
Having delighted audiences with critically acclaimed and path-breaking originals such as Churails, Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam, Dhoop Ki Deewar, among others, ZEE5 Global has announced its next Zindagi original titled Mrs. & Mr. Shameem.
The 20-episode series features popular actors Saba Qamar, of Hindi Medium fame and Nauman Ijaz, and is set to premiere on ZEE5 Global on March 11, 2022.
Mrs. & Mr. Shameem is directed by Kashif Nisar, who is known for his work on series like Dumpukht – Aatish E Ishq, and O Rangreza while the show is penned by Sajjad Gul (Saji) a contemporary play writer who is also known for touching upon social issues and psychological traits through his stories.
One fan Sa Ma commented: “Omg this trailer gave me goosebumps!!! Seriously this web series looks unbelievably amazing… can’t wait to watch it… really appreciate the script writer and the whole team. Saba Qamar & Nauman Ijaz are two brilliant actors and they are gonna rock!!!”
Speaking about her experience playing Umaina, Saba Qamar said: “Umaina is fearless, strong and is not afraid to express herself. She is a true wild child.
“Playing this role was very exciting and challenging at the same time as it is very different from the roles I have played earlier.
“I think it’s time men and women are given the freedom to choose their path and not be restricted to play by the rules. Mrs. & Mr. Shameem demonstrates this perfectly.”
Talking about the show and his character Shameem, Nauman Ijaz added: “Shameem is not like the usual hero you get to see in series and films. He is a soft-hearted, caring man.
“He redefines the portrayal of how an ideal man or man of the house typically should be. Throughout the show, you’ll see him practise respect, love and concern for his family and friends but unfortunately he is made fun of for being ‘effeminate’.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this character, and I’m looking forward to the release of the show.”
Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 Global, said, “Our audiences across the globe are always eager to discover all the contemporary stories that are coming out of South Asia. We are happy to now expand our rich content library with the upcoming Mrs. & Mr. Shameem, a story of two people and their unique love story.”
A Zindagi original, Mrs. & Mr. Shameem is a distinctive love story of a pure bond graduating from friendship to growing old together and everything in between.
