Khudkash Muhabbat was announced in March. UrduFlix uploaded a poster showing the cricketer with a bruised face, but no details were given. 

In 2020, Fawad returned to cricket after 10 years. He made his debut in 2009.

UrduFlix is Pakistan’s first OTT platform, launched by Emax Media. It is popular for roping in TikToker Hareem Shah for web series Raaz. Javeria Saud’s Aurat Gardi too created a buzz when it was announced on the International Women’s Day. It will premiere on April 2, 2021.
