Are Two More Seasons of ‘Ishq Murshid’ On The Way?

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.

“They are the nucleus of the show,” said Khan. Adding that he had a passion for writing youth-based romance, Khan expressed gratitude for the fans who have enjoyed his creations. “I am so glad that fans have liked the story so far.”

The season 1 finale of Ishq Murshid premiered in cinemas with stars Abbas and Saleem in twinning white outfits. Fans who missed the theatrical premiere watched it on TV but were disappointed by an hour-long recap. Venting on social media, one fan wrote, “I feel sorry for the people who bought a cinema ticket to watch this.” Another said, “This whole episode was a flashback.”
