  • Upcoming Pakistani dramas on our radar

    Upcoming Pakistani dramas on our radar

    With several Pakistani dramas coming to an end soon, TV channels have started dropping teasers and promos of their upcoming releases. Four new dramas with brilliant casts and directors are expected to hit our screens in the coming weeks and we are looking forward to them.

    Dunk

    Starring Bilal Abbas Khan, Sana Javed and Naumaan Ejaz in the lead, Dunk is about sexual harassment in universities and colleges. The first promo of the drama dropped to a mixed response but we’re going to hold our thoughts and opinions till we watch the first few episodes.

    Pehli Si Mohabbat

    The drama will mark Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawar’s return to the small screen after a long break. From the BTS and first looks, the drama promises to be an intense love story and I am definitely looking forward to this. It has been written by Faiza Iftikhar and directed by Anjum Shehzad of Khaani fame.

    Maya, in a recent interview, revealed that the drama will not have “typical saas-bahu fights and affairs in it”.

    “You will feel that you have heard or seen this story, because there’s a love story as evident from the title Pehli Si Muhabbat, and everyone has experienced their first love story. Some people find their first love and some people live with keeping it in their hearts,” she shared.

    Raqs-e-Bismil

    Raqs-e-Bismil will see Sarah Khan and Imran Ashraf share the screen together for the first time. A fresh pairing is always intriguing and given that both are brilliant actors, I am sure this drama will be a treat. From the teasers, the drama appears to be intense and uncomfortable. According to the makers, the drama “follows the soulful story of a conservative and conformist family who adhere to strict family values”. Raqs-e-Bismil will also see Hadiqa Kiani make her television debut.

    It is expected to air on Hum TV by the end of the month.

    Amanat

    A multi-starrer drama, Amanat will feature Imran Abbas, Urwa Hocane, Saboor Aly, Haroon Shahid, Saba Hamid, Sheheryar Zaidi, Babar Ali, Asad Siddiqui and Gohar Rasheed.

    According to Imran, Amanat is a “circumstances-based love story”, while producer Sana Shahnawaz says it is “a family drama with love, romance and all other elements audiences wish to see in our dramas.”

    Imran Abbas celebrates Eid Miladun-Nabi at an old-age home

    To celebrate Eid Miladun Nabi, Imran Abbas visited an old age home in Karachi and spent time with the elderly there.

    According to details, Abbas visited an old home run by the JDC Foundation (Jafaria Disaster Management Cell Welfare Organisation Pakistan). In the pictures that have been shared on social media, the actor can be seen laughing and having a good time with the people there.

    The actor also went live on Instagram from the old-age home and shared his experience.

    “This day is recognised for the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) who is Rahmatul Lil Alameen (Mercy for all the worlds). And when we talk about mercy, Zaffar Abbas is the person who comes in our mind,” said the actor in his opening remarks.

    He continued: “I am surprised to see this old age home, it does not look like an old home because I don’t see them as old people, they look like young people because of the happiness on their faces and I am very happy to meet them as they have been so well-taken care off.”

    “They have been given internet facilities, health facilities, personalized rooms and every facility that we have at our homes is been given to them,” shared the actor lauding the NGO’s facilities.

    He further said, “I came here with hope, with happiness and sadness at the same time, I feel sad for those unfortunate people who don’t look after their parents. This is so painful thing to know but I am happy because when your own people leave you, we have people in our society who take care of you even more than your family. These people are a blessing of our society.”

Imran had shared that he will be playing a spy in the film who is of Syrian-Morrocan descent.

    “I have many get-ups in the film and I will be seen in about six to seven disguises as I play the lead protagonist,” the actor had said. Filming for the movie was scheduled to begin in July 2018 but it appears that it might have been delayed.

    Later, when another follower asked when he will be seen next on television, Imran responded: “You won’t be able to watch me on TV at least for another one and a half year more (And even don’t know about after that either).”

    Meanwhile, Imran also joked that one of his recently concluded serials Jo Tu Chahy “kaafi farigh tha”. He added that this is what happens when you sign a project without reading the script.
