"It's one of the most expensive serials ever produced. The quality of production is high and we have shot it in locations including Dubai's Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Burj, London and Bangkok," said Faisal Bhatti, CEO of A B Pictures in an interview with tabloid!.
Though he declined to reveal numbers, the 30-episode soap opera is slated to be broadcast in the UAE, Pakistan, India and London. The details of broadcasting are yet to be decided.
