The number one reason for drawing us to any new drama serial on television is its cast. Whether or not a new drama serial features our favourite heroes and heroines is the first point of determining whether we’ll be checking it out or not. And while the cast isn’t always enough to keep fans hooked if the overall content of the drama serial fails to engage, it is enough to guarantee initial curiosity and interest.
Drama serial Alif, for example, has held peoples’ interest ever since its mention came up months ago, mainly because of Hamza Ali Abbasi and Sajal Aly, who fans are desperate to watch together; Ehd e Wafa may be offering a very unique and different storyline with its Alpha Bravo Charlie vibe but it is primarily Ahad Raza Mir that is its focal ‘lure’ factor. The same applies to Daasi, which is piquing our interest because of Mawra Hocane and the very talented Adeel Husain’s return to television. Whether or not these upcoming drama serials are worth our while, time will tell, but they certainly have a head start because of their star power.
Imran Ashraf is a name that has risen to the A-list of actors that ace and own their characters and they breathe life into any storyline they step into. This is precisely why a certain teaser – featuring Imran Ashraf and Neelum Muneer – had Imran Ashraf fans hooked and eager for more information as soon as the two leads posted it on their social media pages a few days ago.
“Apni sakat say ziada mahnat karnay ki koshish ki hai is dramay mein,” Imran Ashraf wrote on his Instagram. “Mujhay dil say pasand Hai yeah drama. Agay jo Allah ki marzi.”
(I have tried to work harder than my capacity for this drama; it’s very close to my heart. It is now in Allah’s hands)
“Jald a raha Hai, Geo par,” he concluded.
