The ever watchable doe-eyed Sajal Ali has been confirmed as the lead opposite the indomitable Humayun Saeed in Khalilur Rehman Qamar’s Main Manto Nahi Hoon, ending months of speculation. Unfortunately for those clamouring to know more, release dates and plot details have so far been cloaked in secrecy, although drama fans have been speculating that the title could possibly refer to the late writer Saadat Hasan Manto.
Regardless of the subject matter, with Nadeem Baig wearing the director’s cap and the collaboration of the promising two leads – both of whom are known to choose their scripts with great care – viewers can justifiably hold high expectations of things to come.
