Karachi, February 15, 2024: The much-awaited trailer for ‘Abdullahpur Ka Devdas’ is
finally here, offering a glimpse into the modern rendition of the classic Devdas saga.
Starring Bilal Abbas Khan and Sarah Khan in the lead roles, the trailer sets the stage
for an engaging narrative filled with love, drama, and poetic charm.
The trailer introduces viewers to the fascinating onscreen chemistry between Bilal
Abbas Khan as Fakhar and Sarah Khan as Gulbano. Against the backdrop of the
hummable soundtrack ‘Biba Sada Dil Morr De, that already had fans anxiously
counting the days, the storyline unfolds, revealing a love triangle involving Fakhar,
Kashif (Raza Talish), and the mysterious Gulbano.

includes Naumaan Ijaz, Srha Asgr, Savera Nadeem, Saad Qureshi, Ali Ansari, and
other seasoned actors, each contributing to the rich tapestry of this modern
interpretation.
The trailer maps the story of 2 young friends in love with the same woman. Fakhar
and Kashif are both in love with Gulbano. But does she know who’s the real Devdas?
The trailer takes viewers on a full-scale journey through a supposedly tragic love
story. With Devdas in the title, one would expect tragedy to strike anytime.
Misunderstandings and misplaced identities seem to form the crux of the story, yet
one is still curious to know the eventual outcome.
Will Fakhar finally get his Gulbano and will she realize the true identity of the poet
whose words and thoughts she is unknowingly in love with? Will the story wrap up in
true Devdas style or give audiences a surprise by tying up Devdas’ chronicles in an
unexpected happy note?
The drama is not only a visual spectacle but also offers a soul-stirring soundtrack.
Tracks like ‘Oh Sahib’ by Adnan Dhool, Zain & Zohaib, with lyrics by Asim Raza,
enrich the storytelling experience. Zindagi is actively exploring avenues to bring
‘Abdullahpur Ka Devdas’ to the Pakistani audience, engaging in discussions with
various platforms.
Abdullahpur Ka Devdas is a modern twist to the age-old tale. But will the ending be
the same-old or give us a modern take on the Devdas narrative? Fans are super-
excited and wait for February 26 th to step inside a story that promises drama,
emotions and a tale that will take fans on a journey of love, loss or perhaps,
triumph?
