Abdullah Kadwani gave his first statement on the reports suggesting that renowned Indian producer Ekta Kapoor is recreating his hit series Tere Bin for Colors TV, with the same storyline.
Taking to his X (Twitter) account on Friday, the Khuda Aur Mohabbat hit maker set the record straight regarding the Indian remake of his blockbuster hit drama Tere Bin, which aired on Geo TV last year and renewed for a sequel at that time.
“The global success of "Tere Bin Alhamdulillah" marked a significant milestone in the history of Pakistani dramas, garnering immense admiration worldwide,” began the Khaani producer in his statement.
He continued, “We take great pride in the international acclaim that this drama has brought to our industry, paving the way for Pakistani content to resonate on a global scale. The overwhelming love for "Tere Bin" and its characters has touched hearts around the world.”
Abdullah Kadwani went on to clarify, “Recent reports of a potential remake of "Tere Bin" in India under the same title and storyline, though unconfirmed officially, have come to our attention. We wish to clarify that no consent or permission has been sought from the producers or the channel regarding this matter.”
This clarification comes over the heels of media reports revealing Ekta Kapoor’s plans for Tere Bin’s Indian remake, as she approached Kanika Mann and Ayesha Singh for the leading roles.
Abdullah also noted, "While we appreciate the inspiration that "Tere Bin" has provided to audiences and producers globally, we emphasize the importance of any remake or adaptation being conducted with due regard to legal, ethical and moral considerations."
