Fawad Khan reveals what preparations he underwent for Barzakh
While talking to Pinkvilla, Fawad Khan recalled how he prepped up for his role in the show, "We had a very detailed prep for the show. We did discussions and readings about how to tackle the character. My character, in particular, Shehryar, who is an unhinged psychiatrist, unhinged in the sense that he's a candidate for therapy himself. While shooting, it was emotionally disturbing on many levels but it was a complex character that reading itself was self-explanatory in many ways."
Further, the Daastan actor explained that he came up with his approach to play Shehryar, Asim Abbasi explained his idea, and the collaborative effort led them to build the character as a whole.
