Sara Haider is an Ismaili Muslim artist from Karachi, Pakistan. She shot to fame after her performance on the famous Coke Studio music show.
She’s known mostly for her vocals at present but all that may change with Sara Haider’s film debut.
The singer and stage actress is getting filmi in Shahbaz Sumar’s Khaemae Mein Matt Jhankain, which will be screened as part of Zee Zindagi’s Zeal For Unity initiative in India. Zeal For Unity is an initiative that sees 12 Pakistani film directors introduce hour-long works to an Indian audience.
“This story addresses beauty and glamour and superficiality in a very direct way. It talks about how different the world is to what we perceive, it tells us that we are all villagers in a circus designed to please and deceive us,” says Haider of the venture.
“I wrote a song for one of Shahbaz’s ad campaigns a few years ago, so we’ve been wanting to work together for a while. And then he came to a theatre play I acted in… he called me for the movie and I said yes,” continues Haider.
