Sajal Aly and Ameer Gilani are joining forces in the upcoming drama Zanjeerain, written by renowned screenwriter Farhat Ishtiaq. Currently being filmed in Islamabad, the project has already stirred anticipation online, particularly after a behind-the-scenes clip featuring Sajal in a striking red bridal ensemble went viral.
While the drama has generated buzz, its casting has sparked divided reactions. Fans are excited to see Sajal back on screen, praising her consistent work ethic and comparing her to Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar for her frequent appearances. “Sajal has become the Akshay Kumar of our industry,” one fan commented.
However, some social media users are skeptical about Ameer Gilani’s inclusion in the lead role, questioning whether he can match Sajal’s on-screen charisma. Critics pointed to his recent performances, with comments like, “Ameer has given back-to-back flops, yet he’s cast opposite Sajal in a Farhat Ishtiaq drama.”
Despite the criticism, others defended Gilani, highlighting his potential while expressing concerns over industry favoritism and nepotism. Some viewers also expressed a desire to see Sajal take on more varied and experimental roles in future projects.
With mixed opinions fueling online chatter, Zanjeerain remains one of the most talked-about upcoming dramas.
