The long hiatus was not favorable for any new filmmaker, producer or actor that had invested a lot of time and effort in a project, only to be discontinued for years. The most recent to make an announcement was Faysal Quraishi who has parted ways with his film <em>Sorry: A Love Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The actor and producer of the project announced on Instagram that he has shelved the film and apologized to his fans. Faysal shared a teaser of the film and called it &#8220;the first and last look&#8221; for his fans who were waiting for the film.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/Cfec_QcKhY0\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/Cfec_QcKhY0\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Faysal Quraishi (@faysalquraishi)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Presenting the first and last look of Sorry A Love Story, produced by FQ Films and SJ Films, directed by Sohail Javed, producer Faysal Quraishi, written by Asma Nabeel and Sohail Javed,&#8221; he wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned everyone from his DOP, associate director to the makeup artists and stylist, the singers involved in the music of the film and all &#8220;everyone who believed in us&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The teaser showed us glimpses of everyone in the cast from Faysal, Faryal Mehmood, Aamina Sheikh, Zahid Ahmed, Adnan Siddiqui, Ali Tahir amongst others. It started off with a dialogue &#8220;if you find love, don&#8217;t let it go and if you lose it, set off in search of it&#8221;. And it seems that everyone is either searching or yearning for something in the film. With picturesque locales and dialogue laden premises, the film promised to be &#8220;a story of love, loss and heartache&#8221; as the words flash in the middle of the teaser.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of hours prior to the release of this first look, Faysal posted a video with Sohail Javed. Firstly, he nullified all the rumours that there was some friction between the two and then, he announced with a heavy heart that they are officially shelving the film <em>Sorry: A Love Story.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What I&#8217;m going to talk about today is very painful for me, but more for Sohail because it was his baby.

It stopped us for a while then Covid hit [and] following Covid there were other issues. Keeping in mind the state of our industry today, we realized it&#8217;s better to shelf it.
