The success of Saim Sadiq’s “Joyland” seems to have paved the way for a trend in storytelling centered around intersex individuals. Following the Muneeb Butt-starrer “Sar-e-Rah,” director Bilawal Hussain Abbasi is now set to bring forth a new drama titled “Guru,” with actor Ali Rehman Khan in the lead role. The series, which follows the journey of an intersex person, will be aired on Express Entertainment.
On Saturday, the channel’s official Instagram account released a teaser for “Guru.” The short clip introduces Ali’s character as an intersex individual who performs at functions for financial support. It portrays the duality of the protagonist’s life, with moments of cheer and laughter in public events contrasting with personal struggles and misery. The teaser showcases Ali’s transformation, as the character is seen in bazaars, eyeing children’s toys, and suddenly, a newborn baby enters the frame.
