‘Gentleman’ is the latest hit drama starring Humayun Saeed, marking his return to television after four years. In the show, he plays Iqbal Munna, a local from Korangi with an unexpected innocence. Fans can’t help but compare his character to the beloved Munna Bhai from the 2003 Bollywood film ‘Munna Bhai MBBS,’ portrayed by Sanjay Dutt.

In a recent chat with his co-star Yumna Zaidi, Humayun revealed that his role was like Munna Bhai. He said Khalilur Rehman wrote it that way. Yumna added some mystery, saying, “Maybe,” suggesting surprises in the story.

The actor also talked about the idea that Ahmad Ali Butt’s character, Dilbar, Munna’s faithful buddy, is like Circuit from Munna Bhai MBBS. He hinted, “Wait for the fifth episode; you’ll get the answer then. You gotta watch it.”

Yumna assured fans that things would get clearer as the story goes on. She said, “I think it’ll make more sense after the next episode. And as the show goes on, I believe people will stop comparing and noticing these similarities. We’ve already moved past it ourselves.”

Facing criticism for its portrayal of “gundagardi” in Korangi, Humayun defended the show, saying, “There aren’t real gangsters like we’ve shown in Korangi. It’s all make-believe. We tried to make it as real as possible in this fantasy world. We even thought about setting it in a made-up place, not Korangi. But we went with Korangi, and even then, it’s harmless.”
