Production
editFeroze Khan shared his new look from his next play named Romeo Weds Heer on Instagram. He further informed his fans that this would be a Rom-com and would also be directed by Anjum Shahzad. It marks the third collaboration of Feroze with director Anjum Shahzad after the romantic films Zindagi Kitni Haseen Hai[4][5] and Saga of Love and Revenge Khaani.[6] Anjum, once again, selected Sana Javed as the female lead after her mind blowing performance in Khaani, thus the trio returned. Besides this, the leading couple has also been a part of Mehreen Jabbar's Dino Ki Dulhaniya, a television film, thus this marks the third appearance of Feroze and Sana as a couple.[7]
Romeo Weds Heer is written by Muhammad Younis Butt. It is produced under the banner of 7th Sky Entertainment.[8]
