KARACHI: From his jaw-dropping performance in TV serial Udaari to his support for Coke Studio for Deaf, Ahsan Khan has been involved with a number of ventures, striving to improve the lives of the disadvantaged.

The star is now working on a forthcoming project titled Chasm e Num, aimed at challenging the society's pre-conceived notions about visually-impaired individuals.

Talking to The Express Tribune, Ahsan revealed the film is being produced to mark the World Disability Day.

“Most of the people are not even aware that December 3 is World Disability Day. Through this film, I want to highlight the importance of this day and change their perception towards the blind.”

The Udaari actor said Chashme Num is a short romantic film revolving around two-visually impaired individuals.

“I really wanted to do something for the underprivileged, and came up with this idea. This film will change the way you think about these people. It’s a 40-minute love story,” Ahsan said.
