While the director is yet to make an official announcement, the lead pair of the film has confirmed the news and expressed their excitement.
Speaking to a local media outlet, Maya said: “I feel lucky, I feel blessed. One day I get a call from Shoaib Mansoor and the next thing I know is that I am doing the role. The feeling is truly indescribable. It’s a big deal for me.”
While the actor refrained from sharing further details about the film or her character, she revealed that the acronym of the title is ABG, adding that she has never done a role like this in her career before.
Emmad on the other hand, while talking about the project said: “Having this opportunity to be a part of his next feature film is a great honour for me and I feel all excited and raring to go already.”
The film will be the first time the two actors will be seen together on screen. Maya was last seen in the film Parey Hut Love and Emmad is currently making waves with his ongoing drama Jalan. The actor was supposed to make his film debut with Gawah Rehna. However, its release got delayed due to the pandemic.
ABG is expected to go on floor this December.
