    Following the excitement, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar announced that he is working on a historical saga similar to Ertuğrul. The writer said that it was time to “introduce our heroes to the younger generation who don’t know them”.

    Speaking to a private media outlet, the writer said, “We have decided to make a serial on a great Islamic hero. I am currently doing research, reading various books and will start writing it in a week.”

    The writer further shared that he will once again join hands with the team of Meray Paas Tum Ho for this and will cast Humayun Saeed as the lead hero. Nadeem Baig will direct the show while Humayun’s production house Six Sigma Productions will produce it.

    Qamar added that he has been asking Humayun to “work on something like this for the last twelve years” but due to limited facilities, they have been unable to turn their dream into reality.

    While Qamar refrained from sharing further details, he said that the TV show will match international standards and will be based entirely on facts. He said that the team will soon hold a joint press conference to formally announce the project and other details.

    The writer appreciated Ertuğrul and said that he “salutes” the creators of it and the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for producing this masterpiece. He also lauded Prime Minister Imran Khan’s decision to air this series in Urdu for Pakistani audiences.

    “Ertuğrul was the hero of the Muslims, whether the serial is made by Turkey or any other country, heroes don’t change,” said Qamar.

    On the other hand, Humayun while talking about the project said that he hopes it will be the “grandest drama ever produced in Pakistan”.

    “I had contemplated making a historical drama nearly two years ago, which is when I saw Ertuğrul,” said Humayun. “When I saw Ertuğrul‘s popularity in Pakistan as soon as it started airing on PTV, I was even more convinced that we needed to create a historical drama of our own.”

    “We are yet to decide who the story will be based on and the planning is still in its initial stages, but yes, Khalil sahab is writing it,” he added. Some reports are suggesting that the drama will on the great warrior of Islam Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi.

    Diriliş: Ertuğrul is being aired in Urdu on PTV on the recommendation of PM Imran who wanted to “help youngsters connect with their roots.”

    Set in 13th century Anatolia, before the establishment of the Ottoman Empire Diriliş: Ertuğrul illustrates the struggle of Ertugrul Gazi, the father of Osman I – the founder of the Ottoman dynasty.

    Humayun Saeed vs Naumaan Ijaz: What’s going on?

    A video clip of Naumaan Ijaaz criticising Humayun Saeed and Adnan Siddiqui’s acting is going viral on social media.

    In the video, Naumaan shared that he did not watch the superhit drama serial Meray Paas Tum Ho and remarked that Humayun needs to work on his acting skills.

    “Usually people groom over the years but [Humayun] hasn’t,” said Ijaz. “But maybe if he keeps working hard, he might just suddenly end up learning the art. I’m optimistic, one should never lose hope. I pray that he gets it soon.”

    Naumaan passed his remarks very lightly and Vasay Chaudhry who with him in the live session couldn’t hold back his laughter at the veteran’s comments. Chaudhry then proceeded to ask Naumaan what he thinks of Adnan Siddiqui. In response, the actor said, “Adnan is right there with Humayun, if he has been successful so far then it’s never too late [for him to learn].”

    Apart from that, Naumaan had also criticised Hamza Ali Abbasi and Hollywood legend Marlon Brando’s acting skills.

    Watch video:

    Following this, Humayun while appearing on Jeeto Pakistan responded to Naumaan’s comments with his trademark humour.

    Fahad while hosting the show shared that in his first television drama, Humayun played his father. Humayun immediately responded saying that Fahad’s character was of his fourth wife’s son. Humayun used this moment to add, “Naumaan Ijaz bhi mere abba banay thay, mere pehle dramay main (Naumaan Ijaaz also played my father in my first drama).”

    Though Fahad responded by saying that he doesn’t want to be caught up in their ‘feud’, Humayun couldn’t resist adding, “Lekin wo aaj bhi mere Abba banay gein, meri next film main (Even today, he will play my father in my next film).”

    Looks like both the stars mean well and were just having a bit of fun.

    Humayun Saeed’s sehri sparks a debate on Urdu grammar

    Pakistan’s resident hero Humayun Saaed got himself into a sticky situation after he shared details about his first sehri of Ramzan.

    It all started when Humayun posted a picture of his sehri on social media.

    Following this, a local digital media outlet shared Humayun’s tweet asking ‘Dahi hota hai ya hotee hai?’

    In response to their question, Humayun wrote, “I think hoti bhi hai aur hota bhi hai…hmm jaisay (yaar mujhe Dahi khani hai…yaar mujhe dahi khana hai nahin bolte…mere khayal se tou dahi hoti hai hota nahin hai.”

    Another media outlet, Galaxy Lollywood shared Humayun’s response on the matter prompting him to say “Acha yaar maan gaya…dahi hoti hai.”

    Celebrities come together for a short film on coronavirus

    A host of Pakistan’s much-loved celebrities have come together for a short film titled Call To Action to raise awareness on the coronavirus pandemic.

    Among those who feature in the film includes Hamza Ali Abbasi, Humayun Saeed, Reema, Shehzad Roy, Ali Rehman Khan, Zara Noor Abbas, Maya Ali, Anwar Maqsood, Bilal Maqsood, Sheheryar Munawar, Wasim Akram, Shaniera Akram, Ayesha Omar, Iqra Aziz, Yasir Hussain and Mikaal Zulfiqar. The film follows them as they talk to each other on the phones. While the conversation appears to be like one anyone would be having with their friend or family on the phone, each dialogue has a message behind it.

    For example, Shehzad Roy talks about how important it is to keep washing our hands, while Iqra says, “Fasla rakhain, kaheen corona na ho jaye.” Ayesha Omar expresses her annoyance at unverified Whatsapp forwards. The dialogues are fun, short and witty.

    The film has been written and directed by Faisal Qureshi.

    Apart from that, there is also a glimpse of the Kartarpur Corridor which marked a monumental moment in Pakistan’s history and action on the Line of Control.

    The teaser ends with an injured Captain Saad (Ahad Raza Mir) trudging through the trees.

    Directed by Saifee Hassan and written by Mustafa Afridi, Ehd-e-Wafa is centered around the SSG, short for Secret ‘S’ Gang, consisting of Shehryar (Ahmed Ali Akbar), Shariq (Wahaj Ali), Saad (Ahad Raza Mir) and Shahzain (Osman Khalid Butt). The series won the hearts of the audiences because of its heartwarming storyline and great performances by the ensemble cast which also includes Alizeh Shah, Hajra Yamin, Vaneezah Ahmed, Zara Noor Abbas, Faraz Yahya, Syed Muhammad Ahmed and Adnan Samad Khan (Gulzar) among others.
