Singer-turned-actor Farhan Saeed’s new series Shamsher is bringing the national sport of Pakistan, hockey, back into the spotlight. While cricket often dominates screens and conversations, Shamsher offers a fresh take by telling a powerful story through hockey.

 

The series isn’t just about matches and medals. It focuses on passion, struggle, and the fight to survive in a tough world. The trailer, which recently dropped, gives off intense and emotional vibes, showing that Shamsher is more than just a sports drama.

 

 

Farhan Saeed plays the lead role of Shamsher, a man trying to chase his dreams while facing real-life challenges both on and off the hockey field. He’s up against personal struggles, pressure from society, and corruption in the sports arena. The trailer shows a raw and emotional side of the character, making him feel relatable and real.

 

Hareem Farooq plays Shamsher’s wife, a strong and supportive partner who stands by him in tough times.

 

Adnan Jaffar takes on the role of the main villain, representing the darker side of sports politics. Meanwhile, Umer Aalam plays a young, passionate hockey player whose dreams are held back by limited opportunities, a struggle many can relate to.

 

The cast also includes Behroze Sabzwari, Deepak Perwani, and others, bringing serious talent to the screen. The trailer is packed with intense scenes, motivational music, and high-energy visuals from gritty training shots to emotional moments that hit hard.

 

Directed by Shehrazade Sheikh and produced by Nina Kashif and Tapmad Originals, Shamsher will premiere on June 13, exclusively on Tapmad.
