When actress Saba Qamar reads a script, she only says yes if the story is able to leave an impact on audiences, and that was exactly the case with journalist Shahzeb Khanzada’s upcoming legal drama ‘Case No 9’.
Appearing as a guest on Geo TV’s ‘Kaisa Raha 2024, Kaisa Hoga 2025?’, the Baaghi actress revealed why she said yes to the upcoming serial.
“I wouldn't have said yes without reading the script… and when I read it, I felt like it was written by a very senior writer. It felt like Umera Ahmed had written it. I called my director and asked if it really had been written by Shahzeb and he said, ‘Yes, you're going to love it’,” said Qamar.
On the same New Year segment, Shahzeb admitted he was initially unsure how the script would be received, especially since it dealt with sensitive issues-based topics.
“The response I received from 7th Sky Entertainment was incredible. Wajahat Hussain Syed was excited and wanted to work on it. I thought Saba Qamar and Faysal Quraishi might say no, but they immediately agreed,” he added.
The upcoming drama is being produced by 7th Sky Entertainment and is directed by Wajahat Hussain Syed. The stellar cast includes Qamar alongside Faysal Qureshi, both of whom were eager to be a part of the project.
Junaid Khan and Aamina Sheikh are also a part of Case No 9.
With a talented cast and compelling script, Case No 9 is shaping up to be another hit for the dynamic duo of Qamar and Qureshi.
Fans are eagerly waiting for the drama, which is sure to be packed with intense performances and gripping storytelling.
