Actor and director Shamoon Abbasi is accusing the creators of drama Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi, starring Wahaj Ali and Sehar Khan, of removing his writing credits.

In a Facebook post, Abbasi claimed to have also come up with the name of the show. “[I] would like to thank all the audiences around the world that are liking my serial Jin Ki Shadi Unki Shadi (title also given by me) as well as my story and screenplay, the serial is being liked by a large audience,” he wrote.

“I wish the creators had the courtesy to mention my name as the screenplay writer after working four months on the project with a writer dictating every scene and track. But I guess it’s a lesson learned never give away your hardwork to anyone without a plan.”

He said his plan was to direct the show, which is why he said he created the drama “and helped a writer write it from scratch, as a goodwill gesture”. He claimed that his name was still mentioned in the scripts given to the actors on the set.

Abbasi clarified that the post was for “awareness purposes” and was not a challenge to anyone. But, if someone did want to pick a fight, he said he had “all the rights and [evidence] to provide in multiple ways”.
