Why is DuniyaPur one of Pakistan’s most expensive dramas?

The highly anticipated drama DuniyaPur starring Ramsha and Khushhal Khan, is set to make waves on our screens not just for its storyline but for its staggering budget.

Recently Ramsha Khan and Khushal Khan appeared as a guest on Something Haute hosted by Hassan Choudhary and Amna Isani.

Hassan Choudhary asked, “There are a couple of things that are creating a lot of buzz about ‘DuniyaPur’.One of the major points is that it’s said to be one of the most expensive dramas in Pakistan’s history. People are saying that the budget for this drama is around 25 to 30 crores. Is that true or just a rumor?”

Khushal Khan replied, “We don’t know, the exact budget, but it’s definitely one of the most expensive dramas ever made in the country. While we don’t know the precise figures, what’s clear is that it’s a big-budget project. There’s been talk about it being the most expensive drama in Pakistan’s history, but we don’t know much about exact numbers.”

The host again asked “What resources were used to make DuniyaPur such a high-cost production?”

Khushal Khan said that everything used in production was of the highest quality available in the country. “Whether it’s the equipment for films, the lenses, or even the cameras, things that haven’t been seen in Pakistani film or drama productions before,,” he disclosed.

He emphasized the involvement of a specialized crew, noting, “There were a lot of specialized crew members involved, like action directors, which is a rarity. Some days, there would be around a hundred people on set, with extensive action sequences and a great deal of coordination. There were also separate posters being made, which is a testament to the scale of the production.”

Ramasha Khan piped in to talk about the locations. “The cast and crew were constantly traveling to various locations, including Wazirabad, Sargodha, Islamabad, Dadar, Pindi, and Kohat. We might be missing some places, but there were a lot of locations involved in the shooting, such as Neelum and Jehlum as well.”

The drama is written by Radain Shah and directed by Shahid Shafaat. It will air on Green Entertainment.
Duniyapur is a drama about a violent place where people fight for power and survival. Trust is broken, and violence is everywhere. It’s a thrilling show about ambition, betrayal, and staying alive.
