Over the past several years, the topic of child molestation and sexual abuse has become a favourite for local drama creators and Faysal Quraishi has done many dramas on the same issue before. His role in Haiwan was also about a rapist and his mental illness. In this drama, he is playing a role of a rich business man, who says all allegations on him are baseless. To find out the truth, the audiences will have to wait till the drama airs.
