Things seem to have been going remarkably well for superstar Zafar. After having won the award for Music Icon of the Generation, Zafar had more good news to share with his fans.

This is a magnanimous achievement given the grave circumstances of the film industry. We hope he makes more films to keep the industry going.

Zafar also seems to be on a spree of live concerts where he performed to an audience of 17,000 in Quetta and was awarded for his contribution by Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan and Inter-Services Public Relations Director Asim Salim Bajwa followed by a concert in Multan that pulled a massive crowd.

According to the grape vine, the singer is shooting another feature film for next year along with a music album.
