Seriously guys, has Wahaj not filmed for anything since he completed Sunn Mere Dil? It’s been awhile now and the one with Mahira has been delayed. I think he’s refocusing and becoming selective with scripts but personally I’m one of the few who believes that you can only choose from what you’re offered. How long can one wait. Maybe he has other reasons and I’m sure he knows what he’s doing but he doesn’t seem like a taking it easy kind of guy so I’m surprised.
He didn't even film that much for SMD in 2024 either. Also, bad feedback from SMD started coming in Nov 2024. So how does that explain his lack of filming in the first 11 months of 2024 or his selectivity. He probably thought SMD will be a huge blockbuster for him so he'll jus bask in its glory and wasn't focused on starting a new project. If he had realized SMD was a bad choice when he started filming in Nov 2023 he would have immediatey jumped on to do a miniseries for immediate damage control.
Let's stop also justifying shit script choices by saying that's what's available to him.
Do you think as an A-lister he is being offered only second and third fiddle roles in FL-centric dramas which are also terribly written, regressive with no cktr arc and margin to perform. How come he had better options available to him when he was a B or C lister? Do you really think he never got a script from 6th Sigma or iDreams or any other PH?
If you watch other shows on tv which stars other A-listers (even B+listers), you'd know what chices are out there and how poor Wahaj's choices have been. How come Bilal gets a MJ and ZHT after IM. How come AAA gets an Idiot, Farar, Nadaan and SYP after PZ. How come Feroze gets an Akhara, Humraaz and SYP. How come Sherry gets a Radd and AIEJ. How come Imran Ashraf gets a Namak Haram and Masoom. How come HAA gets JeJ & Faraar. Even Ali Raza with a 5th lead role in Noor Jahan got a first lead role in Iqtidar where he gets ss and an arc. Khushal is a new kid on the block and gets good scripts where he has ample SS and proper arc. Even Saad Qureshi's role in Bismil would have been a step up. Or even Feroze Kadri & Ali's roles in Dastak. These dramas are still better than Mein and SMD and these male cktrs had more depth, ss and margin to perform than either Zaid or BA.
No male A-lister has this problem that Wahaj has. DT does bad scripts becuase that's the roles his fans want to see him in and will give him biliions of views. Wahaj's dramas/roles are neither fan service nor are they good (mere liye toh average bhi chalega but his choices have just been bad compared to his peers and even the younger lot),
