Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi is a Hum TV’s popular prime-time drama series, conceptualized by ace Pakistani actor and director Shamoon Abbasi, written by Syed Nabeel, and directed by Saife Hassan under the banner of MD Productions. The drama’s genre is horror comedy, and Wahaj Ali and Sehar Khan play the main leads.
Shamoon Abbasi, the man behind Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi, recently appeared in Kya Drama Hai as a judge, where he disclosed important details regarding the drama. He also said that the makers ruined his concept.
Talking about his script, Shamoon Abbasi said, “My artwork was larger than life and closer to fantasy. I wanted different furniture, better believable lighting. I had to show a vintage feel to it like Lord of the Rings. We had to show cute people, but all of them are frowning. Arsalan is super slow in dialogue delivery; he’s so lazy when he talks. He has ruined the script — he was supposed to be in a rush because he was the man who had anxiety, he just wanted these months in Haweli to pass. I wanted Syed Jibran as the elder brother, who was a stylish corporate man and Wahaj as a rockstar”
He further added, “Nabeel had no idea what to do with the script. The writer Nabeel isn’t able to write on his own; he writes in a group. I had to instruct him over the phone and made him delete multiple scenes. His comic side is good, but he can’t write independently.”
Talking about the casting, he said, “I wanted Syed Jibran as the brother, Saqib Sumeer as the Jinn, Sajal Aly as Khushi, Ali Raza in Wahaj Ali’s role, Mizna Waqas for Tamkenat, and Gul-e-Rana in place of Nadia Afgan. But they threw me out of the equation. The channel wanted Ahad Raza Mir, but they also told me that Sajal and Ahad can’t be paired together.”
