KARACHI ( Khyber Point) The announcement of the upcoming romantic comedy film Ludo, starring Farhan Saeed and Kinza Hashmi, has been met with widespread disappointment from audiences. Despite both actors having established careers, fans appear unconvinced about their on-screen chemistry, calling the pairing repetitive and uninspiring.
Farhan Saeed, known for blockbuster dramas like Udaari, Suno Chanda, and Mere Humsafar, has long enjoyed a reputation as one of Pakistan’s leading television stars. However, critics suggest that his recent projects have not lived up to expectations, and viewers are eager to see him reinvent himself with fresh storylines and new co-stars.
Kinza Hashmi, on the other hand, has earned recognition for her versatile performances in projects such as Khushboo Mein Base Khat and Sheerin Farhad. Her captivating screen presence has made her a fan favorite, yet the backlash against the new film suggests that audiences are reluctant to see her paired with Farhan Saeed again, particularly after their previous collaboration in Sheerin Farhad, which failed to perform at the box office.
Ludo, written by Ali Moeen and Abu Aleeha, with direction by Abu Aleeha, is set against the vibrant backdrop of Karachi. The film promises to present urban culture and everyday life with a comedic twist. However, social media reactions indicate skepticism. Many fans questioned why Saeed continues to work with the same co-star after an unsuccessful project, urging him to collaborate with fresh talent for stronger impact.
Despite the backlash, industry insiders believe that the film’s execution and storyline could still sway opinions. Whether Ludo manages to overcome the criticism and win over audiences remains to be seen, as expectations for Farhan Saeed’s next big hit remain high.
