It seems Humayun Saeed has finally received an irresistible offer from Bollywood that he could not refuse. The veteran young actor has signed up Indian director Mahesh Batt’s upcoming Punjabi movie “Dushman”
In a recent Twitter spree, Bhatt declared that his new movie Dushman will bridge the gap between India and Pakistan.
I am honoured to PRESENT Vinay & Shagufta's first Punjabi Film **HUMAYUN & SHAAD which will bring the people of our two nations closer !

Contrary to its name, the film will be touted as a dosti movie and will be produced by Vinay Bhardwaj while being penned by Shagufta Rafique. The tale will revolve around the camaraderie of an Indian and a Pakistani. The movie will not only be filmed in India and U.K, but also in Pakistan.
Dushman is a path breaking tale of love & friendship of an Indian & a Pakistani. This brave tale will be shot in India, Pakistan & UK.
