The superstar added that with the kind of story Bin Roye is, there was a substantial part that had to be chopped to fit it into an hour-and-half time frame for the big screen. When asked why fans would want to watch the drama if they already saw the film, Humayun said, 'If you compare the number of people who go to the cinema with the television audience, you would know that just a fraction of those who watch TV also watch films.' Every person who is attached with the film has contributed to it,' Momina said when asked what kept her going during the two years that involved plenty of changes in the cast and crew of her film.Īs mentioned before, Bin Roye will also be released as a TV serial. Once, I was so frustrated, I said 'pack up'. Mahira and I became part of this project together. 'I cannot credit just one person for the eventual completion of the film. Sarmad Khoosat and Asim Raza have also contributed to the film by directing a song each. It was then taken over by Shehzad Kashmiri who has co-directed it alongside Momina. The film was initially being directed by Haissam Hussain who left the project soon after he joined. Interestingly though, she isn't the only person who has directed it. People are really attached to the characters in the book so, we did not want to change the essence of these characters but of course we also wanted to surprise those who have read the book so that the movie isn't completely predictable to them,' director Momina Duraid, who is known for producing many successful drama serials, such as Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai, told The Express Tribune.īin Roye marks Momina's debut as a film director. What's unique about the project is that it will first be released as a feature film and a few months later, will be telecast as a drama serial on TV featuring the same cast. The story is essentially a love triangle with Mahira and Armeena playing sisters. It is a romantic drama based on Farhat Ishtiaq's popular novel Bin Roye Ansoo. And now that the film is a little over a month away from releasing, the cast and crew seem to be as excited, if not more, than they perhaps were on the first day of shooting.īin Roye stars Mahira Khan, Humayun Saeed and Armeena Khan in lead roles. Two years have gone into the making of Bin Roye.
