Writer and Director Danial K Afzal on casting Sajal Aly

In an exclusive conversation with a news publication, Danial said, “When I was reading about Fatima Jinnah, I was looking for an actor who would carry a similar body language to hers during the 1930s and 1940s around the Independence time. Sajal gave me that. You could see it the moment she walked onto the set”.

Dananeer Mobeen in the House

The Sinf-e-Ahan actress has a ‘pivotal role’ in the project. She plays a journalist from Bombay. According to Daniyal, “Dananeer will blow your mind! I won’t reveal much about her role, but she has been magnificent throughout. Dananeer plays one of the main roles in the show.”
