Did you know ‘Ehd-e-Wafa’ was shot in 16 cities?

Apart from a stellar star cast, Hum TV and ISPR’s joint project Ehd e Wafa also boasted some breathtakingly beautiful shots of Pakistan. And it turns out that the drama was shot in 16 cities across the country.

Osman Khalid Butt, who played the spoiled Malik Shahzain, revealed this little fun fact in a social media post in which he thanked director Saifee Hasan for his unrelenting effort in making the drama. Butt also shared that the drama’s shoot was spread over nine months.

Ehd-e-Wafa was the mother of all challenges – an ensemble cast, a shoot spread over 16 cities that lasted more than 9 months, multiple tracks (handled masterfully by Mustafa Afridi) – and no one could have risen to the challenge like our director, Saife Hasan. You were an actor's dream, sir. I know I hounded you the most with Shahzain's arc, had hour-long conversations discussing his progression… and you listened, discussed & debated till we reached a consensus. You gave me full rein to explore both the dark and the light in him, guided me, humored me, and yet no one had a finger on Shahzain's pulse like you did. Through it all, your patience & command over your craft inspired us all. Love you, Saife bhai. @saife_hasan PS: So… when are we shooting the sequel?

The last bumper episode of the drama was released on Sunday (March 14). It was initially supposed to be screened in cinemas but the coronavirus outbreak lead to a closure of cinemas across the country.

Earlier Zara Noor Abbas also took to social media to share some fun BTS from the sets of the drama and thank her co-stars for the experience. She also offered “special thanks to Col Asif and Major General Asif Ghafoor for all his love and hard work for this project which was his dream to fulfil.”
