Siraj is still busy shooting Daayan. 30% of shooting is still left + post-production. TB2 cannot shoot until Siraj is done with Daayan. At this rate, the earliest TB2 shooting can even begin is not until May.

The YT views on some of the shows do not make sense. They have no social media or in-person buzz but keep getting good views.

There are farms for views in countries like China. According to a report from 2019, it was a $50 billion industry. Who's to say that actors like Feroz, who want to be relevant again after their real faces are revealed, are not paying these farms to artificially inflate the views on their shows?

I found this website online which you can use to buy likes, comments and views on YT videos https://www.qqtube.com/

But these videos also trend in multiple countries. Even the teasers trend - which no one pays for views and engagement. There are shows where you can tell by the comments that majority are bots. But not all shows with high views have such comments.

People really underestimate superstardom of Danish and Feroze. Just look at their trend scores based on Google search and Youtube search in both Pakistan and worldwide in last 12 months. Ab inka naam search karne ke liye toh koi clickfarms se khareed nahi raha hoga.

SM buzz is a very different thing. It's a smaller group of very active fans making edits, creating noise. Lots of shows with high buzz never even got the high trps or the views. Some shows hit the trifecta but most do not.

Feroz gets into controversies every two weeks when that happens people will read an article and immediately do a Google search.

Apkey FD ke log roz thori google kertey drama ke episode dekh ker, na he neutral log google kertey hai.

In the first screenshot, except for one spike. Interest in him is less than 15% which is not great tbh. Yeh kya shadi ka spike hai?

I do not understand the second and fourth screenshots that you have attached.

First screenshot is Google search in Pakistan in last 12 months

Second screenshot is Youtube search in Pakistan in last 12 months

Third screenshot is Google search worldwide in last 12 months

Fourth screenshot is Youtube search worldwide in last 12 months

But how will Feroze controversies explain YT search trends? Also Danish doesn't have any controversies attached to him but his Google search trend score is really high. Even in last month or so when he has no show on air, Danish Google search trend score is higher than actors with shows on air.

People search for videos about the controversies on YT. Abhi tu I am talking about Feroz only.

As I mentioned is having a score less than 15% that impressive for the most part? and how do Google/ YT trends relate to stardom in the first place?

Do you think it's far-fetched that people buy views for their YouTube videos when it's so readily and easily available? Bollywood superstars book entire theaters via corporate bookings to inflate their films' numbers, so I don't think this is that improbable.

Danish’s drama is done and she had plenty of time to write it. Siraj will most likely be reaching the end of his shoot. Siraj and Nooran know the value of TB 2 and so does Kadwani hence why everyone’s being careful with the script this time round. Also TB 2 will likely be a longer shoot like the first season was (9 months) all these dramas that have been shown in the trailer have been shot within 4 months. I don’t think all of them are mega projects or signature projects. Yumna and Wahaj told fans in the tour if all goes well they’re expecting to start shooting end of 2024 or beginning of 2025.
