Oh god, why the blackface 🥺

Are Pakistani content creators and actors so far gone that they do not understand how it's embarrassing to use the same "dark" skin stereotypes? If they really wanted the character to be tan, why not just get a talented actor who has that skin tone? Faizan Khwaja is one name among many.

I wish for a change they made him an ugly gora guy instead of kaala🤣

i think our culture believes gora doesn't mean ugly 😆

AAA looks handsome. No way he can look ugly by darkenning his skin.😆 I loved the teasers. And I want to see more of them.❤️

The concept of black face is alien to that region. Just like the Me too movement.

I still find him very attractive in the teasers, but the show makers want to convey that he is ugly. So in their eyes by darkening his skin = ugly. Which is why I am so upset by their choice to do that. If they really wanted to cast him, they could have just made him nerdy or something instead of changing his physical features :(

They know about MeToo, but only want to devalidate it by making shows like DUNK and bringing people like KRQ to news panels. 🤣

Yup, AAA is one of my favourite actors and he would excel in any role but if they had to resort to skin darkening then it would have been best to cast a tanned actor like Faizan or Mohib. Take those actors, give them bad hairstyles and outfits. Simple prosthetics can get the job done too.
