While the duo has never shared the screen before, Hania appeared as the lead in the widely acclaimed 2022 series Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha, co-produced by Fahad. The announcement, which has sent ripples of anticipation through fans, was made by Farhat Ishtiaq, the creative force behind iconic dramas like Humsafar and Bin Roye. Ishtiaq took to her official Instagram handle with a post revealing this upcoming collaboration.
While the official confirmation comes via Ishtiaq’s announcement, Fahad previously hinted at his return during a recent appearance on Shoaib Akhtar’s talk show.
During the interview, he expressed admiration for Hania, lauding her talent and potential. On the topic of their collaboration, Fahad teased, “We are doing something together. I don’t kiss and tell. Once it’s done and out, then we can talk about it. But yes, we are about to do something.”
Gracing the same seat on Shoaib’s talk show in November, the Na Maloon Afraad actor made waves when he voiced his disapproval of the growing popularity of family-centric content, responding to an inquiry about content creators entering the film and TV industry.
“A lot of TikTokers create content and gain a large following. They sign a drama and come to share the screen with you. Would you accept them as an actor?” Shoaib posed the question. The Jeeto Pakistan host replied, “The problem isn’t mine, it’s theirs…because I am a producer also. I have met a lot of these people. Content is the most overrated word in this country.”
He went on to condemn, “There is no such content. Everyone is selling their families.” Fahad pointed out how such content makers advertise everyday affairs at their home from cooking a meal in the kitchen to their interactions with their mothers, resorting to extreme measures for clicks.
The producer compared the work ethic espoused by content creators with that of showbiz actors, alleging a lack of dedication in the former. As per Fahad, actors like himself invest long hours in their craft but most content creators have no conception of work ‘hours’ because they produce content ‘in a matter of seconds.’
