5 Upcoming Pakistani dramas that seem to up our local production game

d1Due to the extra ordinary skills of our writers, actors and directors, our TV dramas have gained immense popularity across the world. Of recent, our television industry has come up with dramas on some truly hard-hitting topics with the likes of Udaari, Baaghi, Aisa Hai Tanhai, Sammi and Nibaah.

Well, this is just the beginning because for us sky is the limit. Our drama production game is going all strong since we are coming up with content on more challenging topics. Promos of a few upcoming dramas have already been aired, leaving us all in sheer curiosity while for others we got in touch with the actors to know the initial details. Here’s a list of five upcoming dramas that we are eagerly waiting to watch

Alif

Predicted to be the mega serial of the year, Alif brings on board star-studded cast with the likes of Sajal Aly, Kubra Khan, Noman Ejaz and Hamza Ali Abbasi. Directed by Haseeb Hassan of Mann Mayal fame and written by Umera Ahmed, Alif relates to the first letter in the name of Allah. Shot in Turkey and Pakistan, initial details reveal the drama is definitely going to be very gripping.

Aangan

After Yaqeen Ka Safar success, Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly have paired up once again for Aangan, which already has a star cast including Ahsan Khan and Mawra Hocane. So much of star galore in one TV serial definitely makes it worth-watching. Directed by Syed Ehtashamuddin under the banner of MD Production, Aangan’s intense storyline is based on the revolution that women went through in pre-partition days. We already have this eye-opening saga on our to-watch list.

Koi Chaand Rakh Meri Shaam Par

The-soon-to-be-aired serial brings together the two most adorable and charming stars of the industry: Ayeza Khan & Imran Abbas. The intense teasers of the drama have given us high hopes about the story line. Scripted by Maha Malik, the emotional saga seems to revolve around the sorrows in Ayeza’s life due to Imran’s character. Well, we can’t say anything with surety until the drama is aired.

Maryam Parera

The versatile Ahsan Khan is back to small screen after a small hiatus with Maryam Parera, alongside Khuda Aur Muhabbat famed Saadia Khan. Although not much has been revealed about the storyline as yet, Saadia Khan shared with HIP, that this not-so-typical saga will explore the plight of Christian community in Pakistan. Saadia plays a Christian college teacher who stands up for the rights of her community while Ahsan plays her colleague who falls in love with her. Ahsan has always stunned us with his exceptional acting skills and we feel the same for Maryam Parera.

Lamhe

After Parwaaz Hai Junoon, Shaz Khan will feature on small screen in upcoming HUM TV drama Lamhe in a titular role with the talented Zara Noor Abbas. Shaz essays a westerner who has returned to Pakistan after a long period and has to confront his eastern identity while Zara plays the caretaker of Shaz’s house. Will Shaz fall in love with Zara? Will it be another run-of-the-mill love story? Even if it’s going to be one, who doesn’t like watching love stories.
