Why Were Sajal Aly and Asif Raza Mir Cast Together? Nadeem Bag Reveals The Reason

Renowned director Nadeem Bag recently shared the behind-the-scenes story of casting Sajal Aly and Asif Raza Mir together in the drama serial “Main Manto Nahi Hoon.” In an exclusive interview, he opened up about the decision and the interesting circumstances that led to this notable pairing.

Nadeem Bag explained that he had always wanted to work with actress Saimama Khan, but despite multiple efforts, she was hesitant to take on the role. Eventually, through actor-director Syed Noor, he managed to convince Saimama Khan to join the project. During this process, he selected the cast based on their reputation and talent, choosing some of the most prominent actors of their time.

Sajal Aly’s character was specially written for her, and Nadeem Bag mentioned that she fits the role exceptionally well. He appreciated her performance and believed that her portrayal would make other directors consider casting her in future film projects.

As for the role of Sajal’s father, his first choice was none other than Asif Raza Mir. Nadeem Bag immediately contacted him and proposed the character.
