The main themes of the supernatural 25 episode TV drama serial include a romantic love triangle between two humans and a spiritual entity, the purity of souls and the poignancy yet rarity of selfless unconditional love; all shrouded in mystery and suspense amidst family conflicts.
On the TV Serial’s release on A-Plus producer Aijaz Aslam said:“The treatment of DIL NAWAZ is surely different. We invested in quite expensive special effects technology to render scenes such as a person levitating and a spirit disintegrating into fiery ashes all of which involved a lot of detailed work but was definitely worth it and something audiences can look forward to”
The director of DIL NAWAZ Najaf Bilgrami added:“Although the TV serial delves into the elemental and supernatural there is a very human aspect to the story about how humans are always mired in having to compromise in relationships which are never unconditional. The elemental spirit displays a selfless love and is attracted to a human’s pure soul which is poignant and which will undoubtedly resonate with audiences.”
DIL NAWAZ will air on A-Plus from September 18 2017 at 8pm. News Desk
