Junaid Khan To Star In Jabbar’s Mata-e-Jaan; Music by Bilal Khan

Mata-e-Jaan Hai Tu, a beautiful social romantic Urdu novel, written by popular novelist Farhat Ishtiaq is now being turned into a television drama series by Pakistan’s ace film-maker and television director Mehreen Jabbar.

Mata-e-Jaan, which is going to be Mehreen’s 20th directorial venture, has gone on floor. It takes place in New York City and stars Junaid Khan (of Call fame) in one of the pivotal roles. It will be Junaid’s 4th acting experience. Other cast members include: Sarwat Gillani, Sanam Saaed, Adeel Husain and more.

The official soundtrack will be sung by the young musician Bilal Khan which is apparently going to be his first song for a television series. Mehreen Jabbar, who has recently helped in the casting of Mira Nair‘s Reluctant Fundamentalist, announced the news at her facebook page, “Bilal Khan will be doing an original song for Mata-e-Jaan”.

The drama will be aired on Hum TV.
