After years of anticipation, the much-awaited film Neelofar, starring Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan, is finally slated for release this winter.

 

The film marks the on-screen reunion of the beloved duo, who rose to stardom with their iconic television drama Humsafar in 2011.

 

Mahira Khan recently unveiled the official poster of Neelofar on Instagram, captioning it with a poetic message: “Agli mulaqat ka intezar rahay ga. Neelofar – This Winter.” The announcement has reignited excitement among fans eagerly awaiting the film’s release.

Directed and written by Ammar Rasool, Neelofar has been in the making since 2019. Production was initially delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which forced the team to pause filming with only 10 days remaining in the shoot. However, shooting eventually resumed and was wrapped up in late 2020, with key sequences filmed in the historic Walled City of Lahore.

 

Speaking at an event in June last year, Fawad Khan confirmed that the film had entered its final stages of completion.

 

Mahira, too, had previously shared emotional reflections from the set, hinting at a deeply personal connection to her role. Though the original posts have since been removed, her words, “I take with me a piece of you... leaving a bit of my soul with you,” captured the sentiment surrounding the project.

With the film now heading to cinemas, Neelofar is expected to recreate the magic of Humsafar and offer audiences a memorable cinematic experience.

 

The duo's last collaboration was 2022's The Legend of Maula Jatt that earned over PKR 274.7 crore (approximately $9.5 million) worldwide, with PKR 115.02 crore in Pakistan and PKR 160.8 crore in other territories as of December 2022.

 

It should be mentioned here that the power duo will again be seen together in the upcoming Netflix series Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo.
