Inspired by Waris Shah's poetry and based on the evergreen script of Kaifi Azmi, the play is being directed by Zain Ahmed, currently the Artistic Director of the NAPA Repertory and Festival Director of the NAPA International Theatre and Music Festival. An audience will be able to enjoy live singing by Sanam Saeed, Hasan Raza (Ranjha) and the rest of the cast. The songs from the Bollywood movie Heer Ranjha (1970) have been redone with contemporary music under the able music direction of Nigel Bobby.
The Citizens Foundation (TCF) in collaboration with Zain Ahmed presents ‘Heer Ranjha’, an Urdu Musical featuring fine actors like Sanam Saeed (Heer), Arshad Mahmood (Heer's father) and Samina Ahmed (Heer's mother). The play celebrates romantic love entwined with beautiful poetic verses and at the same time will raise funds for educating the less-privileged children of Pakistan. The stage theatre is currently being performed in Karachi and will be followed by Lahore and Faisalabad.
“Heer Ranjha has been presented on stage and in cinema many times before so the expectations are really high." said Zain
Heer Ranjha is a story of undying love that many still quote and look up to. It's an age old tale of the star-crossed lovers, Heer who belongs to Jhang and Ranjha who belongs to Takht Hazara. Upon a chance meeting, Ranjha falls in love with Heer at first sight. He is enraptured by her beauty and charms. Heer is also attracted to him but is disappointed when she discovers that their families have been enemies for generations. However, these lovers vow to fight for their love. Who wins this war of love and egos remains to be seen.
I wish team "Heer Ranjha" and TCF a huge success. The play celebrates romantic love entwined with beautiful poetic verses and at the same time will raise funds for educating the less-privileged children of Pakistan, so I am sure we will support the cause.
