Or maybe he just wants to keep shooting so he can keep posting about SMD for the next two years. One year for shooting and one year when it's on air 🤣 he likes the attention.

Is they are going to work together in a drama? Look at the captions

High unlikely. Sonia is a B lister and I doubt she would be casted opposite Wahaj

Wahaj has worked with 5 A list actresses (Yumna, Maya, Sajal, Ayeza, Hania ) in his last few shows alone. Sonya would be HUGE downgrade so I don't believe this.

It’s funny because Wahaj went from filming multiple shows simultaneously to spending an eternity on just one show 😂

6-9 months is now standard shooting schedule for ptv dramas. Watch Obi's iv where he is talking KD shooting schedule was and how tiring it is now for actors to do dramas and why we see less of him.

JSA took Haseeb 9 months. Gentleman's shooting started in July/August 2023, but we saw that there were shoots going on in early June. The Tere Bin shoot took 9 months. IM shoots started in May 2023 and only wrapped up in February 2024. KMKT shoots started at the same time as SMD and are still continuing. Siraj shot Sukoon until February 2024, as you can see from his IG, although the first look dropped in July 2023. Radd started shooting in Aug 2023 and Arsalan was sharing pics with Hiba from the set even in Feb 2024. JBHSSL ki shooting has been going on since August 2023 at least (that's when Skardu BTS came) and still going on now even though it's only a limited 8-12 episode series not a 30-40 episode run like GEO dramas. Jafaa started shooting even before Fairy Tale and was still shooting until last month (May 2024). There are so many other examples I can cite. Only miniseries and Ramzan dramas take less time to shoot.

Various factors determine shoot time. First, shooting spells are not continuous and are spread over months to accommodate cast and crew schedules. Haseeb lives in Dubai, so his shooting spells are usually spaced apart a lot with lots of breaks in between. In fact, Wahaj has had so many weeks even months without any shooting that some in SMD DT were speculating he doesn't have enough screentime. Second, the bigger the ensemble, the more schedules to juggle and the longer it could take for shoots. While Wahaj may be doing one show, other actors in SMD were shooting other shows in parallel. Hira shot for JSPJ same time. Usama had multiple engagements, including Ghair shoots, Eid telefilms, and Nayab promotions. Maya shot for JBHSSL, and Amar was shooting that Junaid Khan drama as well. Some dramas also complete shooting before they are aired, while others continue to do shoots while the project is on air (such as IM).

SMD started shooting end Nov so we are 7 months done which is well within the norms for the industry. Finishing up projects in few days like Akshay Kumar is an outlier not the benchmark.

This confused me so much because it’s not like it’s a brand new photoshoot for them to post it now. Also the caption is making it sound like it’s common knowledge that they will be working together. Has something been announced? Did I miss something?

No nothing has announced its only diva which posted this.

Anyone can get cast with anyone. Look at Faraar ki casting. HAA and AAA with Sabeena and Mamya. But as long as acting is good rest doesn’t matter. Even if you’re less famous.

Sonia was pretty decent in Akhaara. Wouldn’t mind her with Wahaj in a show. Likewise I don’t mind Shuja and Shaheera in the same show as Yumna because from what I’ve seen of them they’re solid actors even if they’re not that established yet. Look at ZPKB. That new actor Mubashir Mehmood is winning hearts and half the critics didn’t even know his name. So talent is not limited to A list or any list. Literally any random casting can happen and it can work out
