Sarmad Sultan Khoosat is a Pakistani actor, film/TV director, producer, and screenwriter best known for directing the super-hit TV dramas Humsafar and Shehr-e-Zaat.

The latest update is that Khoosat Films YouTube channel will re-release the 2003 telefilm, Hernaam Kaur, on August 26 at 8:00 pm as a tribute to the talented author Saadat Hasan Manto whose short story it is based on.

On Wednesday, filmmaker Sarmad Khoosat posted a video promoting the telefilm on his Instagram. “Full of 101 technical and aesthetic blunders, and glitches but 101% love and honesty. A lot of friends and fans have asked to make it available online. Am a tad bit nervous about it too, but whatever,” he wrote. “In our stream of nostalgic throwbacks, we will be re-releasing “Hernaam Kaur.”

“The gripping telefilm pays homage to Manto’s piercing narrative on the pain of partition and the enigma of gender and identity, inquiring into timeless themes of the human condition,” he added.

Written and directed by Khoosat himself, Hernaam Kaur has been produced by Erfan Khoosat. It stars Sohail Ahmed, Sarmad, Saba Hameed, Erfan and Fareeha Jabeen among others.
