Recently, Zanjabeel Asim Shah gave an interview to Rabia Mughni for Fuchsia Magazine’s YouTube show. In the interview, she opened up about Pamaal’s production team, stating that they changed situations, drafts, and even the title without her consent.
Talking about it, Zanjabeel Asim Shah said, “One thing needs to be cleared up here: this was not the draft of the drama I sent to the production. In my draft, Malika was a simple household girl who didn’t want to become a writer, but writing came to her, and she was intelligent enough to know how to make things possible that came her way. Even the name of the serial was Possible, and they changed the name of the drama without my consent, which altered the meaning of the concept. Also, I wrote it chapter-wise. In my draft, Malika was a simple household girl who luckily got a chance to become a writer. These scenes were even added later without my permission. Now that the drama has gone too far, and the way Tehreem and the team have made it, I don’t say much because they also have to consider their sellable points. However, I do have complaints. You should not mess with a writer’s craft.” Watch here:
