Have trust in Nadeem Baig, even MPTH was a good watch due to his direction

I don't think this will be anything like SMD.

It feels more like a social satire/social commentary. More along GM lines than SMD.

It will definitely be a ML-centric story unlike SMD.

I think it will be the story of a guy who is meek, cowardly, fearful, who cannot stand for his rights or rights of others, who takes abuse and disrespect from others because he is weak. So the opposite of Manto. I think the story will be about his evolution. How he goes from being a coward to someone who exposes the underbelly of society. Learns to take a stand. Puts aside his fears to become the voice of the oppressed. So beco.e a Manto. There will be a love track but I think the crux of the story will not be ishq mashooqi.

I saw a review where the reviewers said they spoke to Mohammad Ahmad recently (who played Mirza Naamdar in SMD). He is in Manto as well. He told them that Manto is a very strong and good script unlike SMD which was a very poor script.

I also feel Humayun and Nadeem will have more control in changing around the script this time.

I really think Manto will be critically acclaimed. People will call it KRQ's comeback.

Can't wait for this angsty love story

Supporting actors esp. of his age pick many dramas because of money and not script quality or even the role. But as a seasoned writer himself (who wrote Kuch Ankahi) he knows what is good vs bad script. Also, his role as Naamdar sb was actually good in SMD and even though it was just 4 episodes.

In Nameer's iv today he talked a bit about Manto.

He said it's a show about rivalries - good vs bad guys. This is what I thought too that this will be more along the lines of GM (that was about ghunda vs gentleman) than smd, which is about love.

I still stand by what I said. Humayun will eventually lead a group of people to fight some injustice even though he is shown to be a cowardly fearful person at the beginning afraid to fight the bad guys. His name will be Manto but his personality will be the opposite. But he will eventually transform into a bold social warrior not afraid to call out what is wrong, like Manto.

Nameer also said they have been shooting this for last 1.5 years and some shoots are still left. But he thinks it should air by end April or in May. Do you think it will replace Aye Dil?
