ZEE5 Global, the largest OTT platform for South Asian content, has released the trailer of its much anticipated Zindagi Original web series Dhoop Ki Deewar. ‘Countries win battles but families lose to war’ sets the premise of the show.
A journey of love, loss, courage and sacrifice, the show throws light on the grief-stricken lives of Vishal (Ahad Raza Mir) and Sara (Sajal Aly) who lose their loved ones in war. As they both experience the same struggles and sorrow, they find comfort in each other.
The show will stream on ZEE5 Global from 25th June 2021 across all global markets and is a key addition to the platform’s vast library of Pakistani shows.
Emphasizing on the message of ‘Heart Over Hate’, Dhoop Ki Deewar also consists of a supporting cast of Samiya Mumtaz, Zaib Rehman, Savera Nadeem, Samina Ahmed, Manzar Sehbai, Raza Talish, Aly Khan and Adnan Jaffar amongst others. The series is directed by Haseeb Hasan and written by Umera Ahmed and explores the impact of martyrdom and war on the two families and how they realize that peace is the only answer. The show is produced by Motion Content Group and Hamdan Films.

Shailja Kejriwal, Chief Creative Officer, Special Projects, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd, said, “The show captures the story of families who face the consequences of war and highlights their common struggles and grief irrespective of which side of the border they belong to. While war has been glorified for ages in popular cinema, this time we want to bring to the fore the after effects of the conflict.”

I hope everyone who watches the show enjoys it as much as we enjoyed making it. Such collaborations and initiatives taken by ZEE5 Global and Zindagi must actively take place to narrate such stories to a global audience.”

The trailer gives us a first look into the story – a strong and unconventional narrative packed with gripping and exciting moments.
