Alike the lead singers Atif Aslam and Farhan Saeed, singer and Jal‘s founding member Goher Mumtaz also tried his luck in the Pakistani drama industry, and to many people’s surprise, the 41-year-old artist received an overwhelmingly positive response.

How he utilises the information he has, into a team plan and then raids.”
