Mehwish Hayat makes thrilling comeback with action-packed drama ‘Dayan’

Renowned Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat has returned to television with the action-packed drama Dayan, filled with love, revenge, and suspense.

The drama premiered on Geo TV on February 24, following the release of its trailer in early February. Initially, the title was kept under wraps, but it has now been confirmed as Dayan, airing twice a week on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Written by Fatima Faizan and Amber Azhar, Dayan is directed by Siraj-ul-Haq and produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi. The star-studded cast includes Mehwish Hayat, Ahsan Khan, Hira Mani, Usman Pirzada, Afshin Hayat, Nayyar Ejaz, Zainab Qayyum, Usama Tahir, Sohail Sameer, Nida Mumtaz, Shamil Khan, and Zahra Aamir.

The serial marks Mehwish Hayat’s return to television after nearly nine years. Her last drama, Dillagi, aired in 2016. Although she appeared in the 2023 telefilm Ijaazat with Hassan Sheheryar Yasin (HSY), Dayan is her first full drama in almost a decade.

Since 2016, Mehwish has focused on films and web series, including the American sci-fi superhero series Ms. Marvel.
