Hamza Ali Abbasi

PakistaniArt is the leading source for the latest Hamza Ali Abbasi stories. Find the latest news, features, updates, blogs, interviews, op-eds, and more.

As Pakistan's highly anticipated first-ever Netflix Original series, Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo (en.wikipedia.org) stands as a monumental milestone for South Asian television, bringing together a stellar powerhouse ensemble cast that includes global icons Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Sanam Saeed, and Ahad Raza Mir, alongside brilliant talents like Iqra Aziz, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and Hania Aamir. Masterfully adapted from the acclaimed 2013 bestselling Urdu novel by Farhat Ishtiaq and helmed by veteran showrunner Momina Duraid, the narrative weaves a deeply emotional and poetic tale of romance, trauma, and psychological healing. The plot beautifully traces the overlapping lives of Sikandar, a brilliant but reclusive Harvard law graduate burdened by a deeply shattering past, and Liza, a vibrant, soulful artist who masks her own profound history of pain with an infectious lust for life. Their transformative, fate-bound encounter in the picturesque streets of Italy sparks a turbulent journey of mutual emotional restoration, spanning striking cinematic backdrops across Italy, the United Kingdom, and Pakistan. Following several high-profile post-production extensions to meet the streaming platform's rigorous global technical benchmarks, the grand production has concluded filming, with recent confirmation from the cast pointing toward a global release window slated for 2027.

A side-by-side split-screen image features Pakistani actors Hamza Ali Abbasi and Hania Amir. On the left side, Hamza Ali Abbasi stands with his arms crossed over his chest, facing forward with a gentle smile. He has short, slicked-back dark hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and a mustache. He is wearing a dark, charcoal-gray, long-sleeved button-up shirt with the collar slightly open. The background behind him is softly blurred, showing a warm, ambient-lit indoor setting with horizontal window blinds and a glowing light fixture. On the right side, Hania Amir stands angled slightly to the side while looking toward the camera with a subtle expression. Her long, dark, wavy hair is parted down the middle, with a portion pulled back. She wears a white, wide-collared button-down shirt beneath a bright, lime-yellow tailored blazer and light sage-green trousers with her left hand tucked into the pocket. An elegant, patterned silk scarf in shades of olive, white, and yellow is tied around her neck, and she wears silver hoop earrings. The background behind her is a prominent geometric grid design with yellow and cream-colored rectangular panels. Edited by PakistaniArt.
