Acclaimed actors Sajal Aly and Ameer Gilani are set to share the screen in an upcoming television drama titled Zanjeerain, written by the renowned Farhat Ishtiaq. The show, currently being filmed in Islamabad, has already piqued public interest—especially after a behind-the-scenes clip featuring Sajal in a striking red bridal ensemble made its way online.

The announcement of the cast has stirred a mix of excitement and debate among fans. Sajal’s return to television has been met with enthusiasm, as the actress continues her streak of frequent appearances on screen. Her growing portfolio and tireless work ethic have even drawn light-hearted comparisons to Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar. “She’s become the Akshay Kumar of our industry!” one fan quipped.

However, the casting of Ameer Gilani alongside Sajal has been met with some skepticism. While a portion of the audience is eager to see the fresh on-screen pairing, others have raised questions about whether Ameer can hold his own opposite a powerhouse like Sajal. Comments on social media range from humorous to critical, with one user asking, “In what universe does Ameer look like a hero?” Another noted, “Despite a series of flops, he lands a role opposite Sajal in a Farhat Ishtiaq drama.”

Still, some viewers have defended the casting choice, highlighting Ameer’s untapped potential and critiquing the industry’s favoritism. “Getting a quality script seems to require either family connections or a trail of unsuccessful projects,” one commenter observed.

Beyond the casting chatter, there’s a growing desire among fans for Sajal to experiment with more diverse characters and styles in future projects. Whether Zanjeerain delivers a compelling story or fuels further debate, one thing is certain—it has already captured the audience’s attention long before its release.
