Haute List: 3 Ramazan plays to watch out for

Fans must have been disappointed that none of their beloved Ramazan series – from Suno Chanda, Chupke Chupke to Ishq Jalebi – are renewing this year. However, that doesn’t mean that they won’t be able to see their favourite couples; HaShi (played by Arslan Naseer and Aymen Saleem) are coming back in a new setting with new roles this time.

Saima Akram Chaudhry has promised two fresh concepts with more entertaining content for Ramazan in 2022. So, it is time to relax and wait for a daily dose of family entertainment till chand raat.

Let’s have a look at who is offering what!

Chaudhry and Sons

Featuring a never-seen-before jori Imran Ashraf and Ayeza Khan as the lead pair, the drama boasts a stellar cast. It includes veterans like Sohail Ahmed, Asma Abbas, Shagufta Ejaz, Irsa Ghazal, Noor ul Hassan as well as Yasir Nawaz, Saniya Shamshad, Madiha Rizvi amongst others.

 

 

Written by Saima Akram Chaudhry who has Suno Chanda series, Ishq Jalebi and Chupke Chupke to her credit, this will definitely be a laugh riot. We have seen Ayeza in a comic role in Chupke Chupke last Ramazan, but Imran is mostly known for his serious portrayals.  2022 is going to be the year when Imran Ashraf will make the most of his comical timings, first in Chaudhry and Sons and then in his film release on Eid ul Fitr, Dum Mastam.

The drama is said to be a thriller-comedy, directed by Syed Wajhat Hussain, revolving around a desi family and will air on Geo Entertainment. The title also reminds of the classic play Khawaja and Son.

Paristan

Arslan Naseer and Aymen Saleem aka the Hadi and Mishi jori is back in Paristan. Written by Samra Bukhari and directed by Ali Hasan, Paristan stars many fresh faces including Merub Ali, Junaid Jamshaid Niazi alongside Javaria Saud, Mira Sethi, Navin Waqar, Asad Siddiqui and Ali Safina. Taimoor Salauddin aka Mooroo will also make his debut on television with the drama.

 

 

Mira and Mooroo will reprise iconic characters – Zubaida and Amanullah — that they play in their YouTube videos. Comedian Danish Ali will make his TV debut with the drama. Paristan will air on Hum TV.

Written by Saima Akram Chaudhry, Hum Tum is “a modern, humorous and Gen-Z rendition of a hate to love story between two youngsters.”  It tries to explore if opposites really attract or is it all a farce? Neha played by the gorgeous and talented Ramsha Khan and Adam played by the dashing Ahad Raza Mir encircles just that.
