Applause Entertainment and Zindagi, which had earlier announced their maiden series Farar with Joyland star Sarwat Gilani, have teamed up for a new project.
Titled The Pink Shirt, the eight-episode series stars well-known Pakistani actors Sajal Aly and Wahaj Ali in lead roles.
Directed by Kashif Nisar and written by Bee Gul, The Pink Shirt is gearing up for its world premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival 2023 Sydney at Palace Central Cinema on October 16, according to a press release. As per reports, it is the only South Asian web series selected at the SXSW, Sydney.
Lead actress Aly, director Kashif Nisar, writer Bee Gul, and Shailja Kejriwal of Applause Entertainment will attend the premiere in Australia.
Sharing her excitement, Aly said, “It is a journey I have embraced with open arms, and as we prepare for its world premiere in Sydney, I can't contain my excitement to share this emotional voyage with the world.”
Wahaj Ali said working on the series was an “absolute delight” for him. “Portraying the complexities of human relationships in The Pink Shirt has been a remarkable challenge and the script demanded an exploration of emotions and vulnerabilities that pushed me as an actor. I can't wait for the audiences to embark on this emotional rollercoaster with us," he added.
The Pink Shirt is described as a “riveting take on modern-day relationships, their love, challenges, and struggles in a raw and real way.”
“The drama revolves around the journey of Sophia and Umer being stuck in their respective toxic relationships with their partners Sameer and Sara and how they then discover an alluring intensity and embark on a transformative journey towards love that mends them as people,” read the official description.
