i wonder if SMD doing not too well in terms of TRP and views effected his decision? Let’s face it SMD was geo’s most expensive project of 2024. They spent a lot of money on production and promotions. I think the last project that they made this grand was KAM.
Ishq Hua and Khaie were more expensive than SMD I think. For Khaie they rented the whole resort for months plus constant flights and road travels. IH had many outdoor shoots. KAM3 was shot outdoors in Multan or somewhere in Punjab for extended periods of time. That haveli was in Multan to I think.
I know SMD has big budget but honestly fail to see where SMD budget was spent. Was it the wedding? Was it the electricity bill at Baig house as we see the house always lit up? They shot in Serena hotel in FSB for a week but they didn't rent the whole hotel. Fans who were there said there was an expo, wedding and guests coming in and going while SMD shoots were going on. The drama literally takes places in 5-6 rooms 95% of the time. Bilal Abdullah's office which he never leaves. That one hall in BA's office where Humsha, Ammar , Sadaf and ever employee sits, Baig house (that we have seen in every third drama on air), Ammar's house, Sadaf's house, Dania and Husha's apt (lounge areas only), Bilal's car. 90% of these houses I have seen in other dramas (incl BA's houses, Sadaf's house). There are no grand panoramas, barely any outdoor locations. Kya saara budget Wahaj or Amar ki nighties pe laga diya?
