In a recent interview on Sal Ahmed’s YouTube channel, writer Abdul Khaliq Khan revealed that he has plotlines that will extend 'Ishq Murshid' for another two seasons, as the final installment of Shahmeer and Shibra’s love story concluded last weekend.
Khan said, “I have three stories in mind for this show. You’ve already seen the first one, where a boy overcomes obstacles to win his true love. The second story will be about a boy who jumps through many hoops for a close blood relation. And the final story will be about a love that transcends everything else – it is about how the ishq for Allah overtakes everything else.”
How Íshq Murshid' Would Be?
Shedding light on the inner workings of his writer’s mind, and how Ishq Murshid came to be, Khan explained it was important for him to be “obsessed” with his protagonists if he was to do their story justice. According to him, certain characters grabbed him from the get-go and compelled him to create their fictional world. Shameer/Fazal and Shibra, portrayed by Bilal Abbas and Durefishan Saleem, were two such examples.
