MAHIRA KHAN Is Coming Back On Screen In The Lead Role In Hum TV's Next Titled

Amar Bail

Based On The Novel Of The Same Name. The Show Is a love story of Umar Jehangir and Aleezay Sikandar, set-up in the backdrop of Pakistani bureaucratic culture. It is a story of imbalanced relationships, broken families, lust for power, complexes, insecurities and amidst all problems of love, its intensity and sacrifices.

Mahira Khan Will Portray The Leading Character Of Aleezay Sikandar

And

Osman Khalid Butt Will Portray The Leading Character Of Umer Jahangir.

It Will Be Directed By Danish Nawaz.

And

It Will Be Out By March 2022.

This novel was one of the best novels by Umera Ahmed. It was actually adapted for a drama in the past. The director was Sakina Samo, the character of Umar Jahangir was played by Adnan Siddiqui while the character of Alizeezay was played by some girl who was not very famous or pretty. Sakina Samo's direction and execution were impressive, but the production value was pathetic. Adnan Siddiqui looked perfect for the role and acted fabulously too. However, the actress who played Alizeey was a misfit as in the novel, Alizeey was very young, innocent, and considerably younger than Umar.. I guess about eight years younger.. even though the actress acted well but due to miscasting the impact was lost..

In this new adaptation too, there seems to be the same problem. Even though there could be better choices for the role of Umar; yet, I guess, Osman can pull off it too as he was quite convincing in Ehd-e-Wafa in the serious phase of his life.. however, Mahira seems old for this role.. I can't imagine seeing Osman treating her like a younger cousin who he needs to take care of.. In Bin Roye, Humayon doing this for her was believable but Osman and Mahira seem to be of the same age.. also, Alizeey is from a broken home and lives with her grandparents.. seeing Mahira doing this role will be as if she's repeating her role in Hum Kahan Ke Sache They role..

As for Danish Nawaz, I don't know if he has done any such project in the past as the novel is very much political in nature, but let's see what will he offer..

Not another depressing drama I am afraid

Well.... yes, depressing, but not in the usual sense if they'll be true to the novel.. the best aspect of the novel was that the love story was actually a sub-plot while the main plot is about the corrupt bureaucratic and political system of Pakistan, problems like nepotism, injustice, broken families, etc. which leads to complexed personalities and insecure relationships.. I read this novel years ago and it deserves a reread whenever I get some free time because it was actually an intelligent novel.. not the usual drama and romance..

I hope they'll be able to cover all these aspects. But for tv audience they'll focus on the love story I am sure.. and I hope they change the ending.😳

So you know the ending.. I was purposely not talking about it.. 🥺

btw I just downloaded the pdf file of the novel and read the first few pages to check the ages of Umar and Aleezay.. When Umar meets Aleezay, he says to her that the last time she was about 12 years old while Aleezay thinks that he came back after 5 years.. since he is 8 years older than her so it means that Aleeezay is 17 years old and Umar is 25 years old..
