Nadaan: A look at life in Karachi’s tough streets

The new drama serial ‘Nadaan’ offers a gripping story full of suspense and strong performances, directed by seasoned director Mehreen Jabbar, written by Saji Gul, and produced by Sultana Siddiqui.

The drama features a gripping story set in a tough street in Karachi, where life is a constant struggle against the backdrop of crime and corruption.

The first episode of Nadaan starts with Haider’s flashback, recounting his first meeting with Dr. Tabeer to an interrogation committee two months later.
This storytelling approach creates a sense of tension and intrigue right from the start.

Ahmed Ali Akbar plays the character of SHO Haider, the new policeman in Jam Nagar Karachi. He and Tabeer initially clash when she treats a patient without waiting for the police, but later, their relationship builds up as they learn to respect each other.

Nadaan takes place in Jam Nagar, where a Pir sahib named Subhan has strong influence in the area and runs a dangerous drug (heroine) trade with the help of his right-hand Tayyab.

Tabeer, played by Ramsha Khan, a professional and dedicated doctor, reopens a hospital with Usama, played by Hammad Shoaib. The hospital is funded by the Usama’s father, who is the MPA of Jam Nagar, and challenges the Pir Sahib’s illegal activities, making it a target for him.


Nadaan promises to tackle hard-hitting issues in society and make it much more than just another drama. The cast is amazing, it is directed very well, and it has a meaningful storyline.

The cast of Nadaan includes, Hammad Shoaib, Ali Gul Mallah, Kashif Hussain and Ahmed Randhawa.


Writer Saji Gul is bringing fresh stories to the TV screens. His previous work tilted ‘Mrs. & Mr. Shameem’ also revolved around social issues, including AIDS.
