The filmmakers have, however, not disclosed anything further about the plot or characters related to the film.Both the actors feature in Netflix's upcoming origin series Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo as well, so this is an exciting time for the fans.
Social Media Divided Over the Pairing
A lot of people liked the announcement, but there were also many users on social media who raised concerns related to casting Fawad Khan and Iqra Aziz as the leads in the film.The central issue in debate has been the difference of age between the actors. The majority of netizens point out that their looks make them look more like some relatives than a couple.
Several comments claimed that Iqra Aziz's small body contributes to the strong visual difference when they are filmed together, which makes some fans doubt they will look good together on the screen.Others were of the opinion that the viewers will have a hard time accepting them as a couple unless the film's plot gives a logical explanation for their relationship.
Fans Share Their Opinions
As anticipated, the news caused great stir on the net. Some viewers stated that the two seemed to be more like a father and daughter than romantic partners. Others mentioned that the youthful looks of Iqra Aziz make their pairing even more inappropriate.
A number of users doubted whether she was the right fit for such an ambitious film pointing out that her appearances seem better suited for television films.Some of the fans wished that the movie did not focus on romance at all saying that a different relationship between the characters would make their pairing believeable.
Alternative Casting Suggestions
Numerous users of social media also proposed alternate actresses who would have been better suited alongside Fawad Khan as a partner.The actress name which was most commonly repeated is Maya Ali and Saba Qamar, as the fans supported their choice by explaining that they would surely provide the proper chemistry between the two of them.
However, there were critics of this notion as the filmmakers were defended for their decision to choose the actors and people should wait for the first teaser. According to them, rating the success level of the actors depends more on the storyline, directional work, and development of the characters than on just the age or appearance of the actors.
Why the Debate Matters
Casting discussions have gained tremendous momentum in Pakistan's showbiz. Upon the announcement of any major venture, the fans closely scrutinize it from the looks of the actors to their worthiness for the said roles.
There are many occasions when the initial disparagement is rendered pointless after the viewers watch the final product. Indeed, there are examples of several Pakistani films and dramas that faced similar complaints well ahead of their release but eventually earned accolades from the audience.That is why many experts in this sphere think that it is premature to make any conclusions in regard to the cast until viewers get to see any official footage of the film.
Fans Waiting for More Updates
Currently, only few details are available concerning the forthcoming movie, and fans wonder what type of film it will be and what it will be about.However, even if there is so little known about the film now, audiences have witnessed how Fawad Khan has paired up with Iqra Aziz for Netflix's Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo.It remains to be seen whether the film gets panned or appreciated on the basis of its trailer and the onscreen charisma exhibited by both actors.
Conclusion
