‘Qarar’ is very unlike other plots: Muneeb Butt on his upcoming project
Muneeb Butt is all bullish returning to Hum TV after the award-winning Baandi and has already signed a promising project he is extremely excited for.
Title ‘Qarar’, the hero is returning to our screen after a mini-hiatus. Earlier we saw him romancing his dear wife Aiman in the hit drama and it seems like ages ago we saw Butt in a challenging avatar. But he is all geared up his upcoming project and could not stop raving about the director, Barkat Siddiki.
In less than a decade, Muneeb has proved himself as amongst the most compelling performers in the television industry. After all, he is not just a fair-skinned heartthrob. His acting chops command attention and have made him amongst the most dependable actors to be made part of any project.
All in all, he is a consummate artist. In his upcoming project, he will be seen across Mikal Zulfiqar, Sanam Jung, Rabab Hashim. And according to him, the audience is going to love this one.
We sat down with Muneeb Butt to enjoy an in-depth, candid chat about his upcoming role, working with his wife and fatherhood.
Extracts from the heart-to-heart are as follows.
Baandi was your last massive project on Hum TV. What is Muneeb offering to his fans this time around?
After Baandi, I was offered a lot of projects of Hum TV including Mushk, Kashf, and a project directed by Ahmed Kamran. But I refused to sign them as I was looking for something different, interesting, worthy, and satisfactory to watch.
Because once you have played a role, it becomes a responsibility of a performer to bring something innovative to the table next time and please the audience to the best of his or her ability.
Qarar has two men, you and Mikaal and two women, Sanam Jung and Rabab Hashim in the story. Who is romancing who and how it will be different from the clichéd plots we see on television.
Qarar is very unlike other plots and the story revolves around my avatar. I will be romancing Sanam Jung in the drama and later get involved with her younger sister, Rabab. His first love is Sanam only, and he gets married to her. But due to certain issues, Sanam runs away.
It’s a complicated saga but a fascinating one and I bet the audience is bound to like it. Mikal is my elder brother and he makes an entry in the drama after the fifteenth episode. He has an amazing character and then there will be a woman who will create rifts and misunderstanding between the two brothers. Let’s keep that as suspense.
Is the drama going to be a typical love triangle?
Qarar will be a love triangle but it has been introduced with such an angle, that the viewer will not expect it coming in the drama. It is very twisted yet entertaining. It will be after Mikal enters the story and is bound to surprise the audience. When I was reading the script, I was so engrossed in it that I just completed it in two days.
How was it working with Barkat Siddiki?
Working with Barkat Bhai was fun, he is an amazing person. We have a lot of conversations with him on a lighter note on the set. There is a lot of positive energy when you are around him. We discuss the direction of his last project, Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida as well and enjoy immensely in his company.
Mikaal Zulfiqar is an equally compelling actor. Were you worried he can steal your limelight on screen?
I am working with Meeko, aka, Mikal Zulfiqar for the first time. I am loving working with him and every time he is on set, we are cracking jokes and having a great time. I wasn’t worried at all working with him because every performer stays in his or her character and depicts its versatility.
No one can steal anyone’s limelight and it also depends on the viewer who they deem better. Both of mine and Meeko’s characters are extremely entertaining and people will love our characters and our chemistry.

When are we seeing you with Aiman in a project again?
I am already working with Aiman, on a drama called ‘real-life’ and our project is called ‘Amal’. it is extremely entertaining and I am loving it. (Laughs).
On a serious note, I don’t think I will be working with Aiman anytime soon as Amal is very young. Aiman is an extraordinary mother, she is bringing up my child in a remarkable way and I am very proud of her.
How has fatherhood affected you both professionally and personally?
Fatherhood hasn’t affected me but I am enjoying this time of my life. Even when I pack up from shooting, my first thought is that I should go home and my daughter is waiting for me. Your whole life changes after becoming a father and it becomes a responsibility that you have to fulfill to your best.

Here’s why HUM TV’s ‘Saraab’ should be on your watch list
The year 2020 may have deprived us of a lot of things, but it has given hope to the TV industry in Pakistan.
While Pyar Ke Sadqay kick started the culture of message based dramas, Saraab seems to take the good work forward by tackling issues that were considered taboo. If Pyar Ke Sadqay dealt with a bullied hero and a mentally slow heroine, Saraab deals with something else.
Although it hasn’t been revealed in the first episode, the last shot did put an end to the audience’s guessing! The leading lady seems to be suffering from a serious mental illness, and the more we watch the play, the more we will end up learning about it and how to handle it, if someone close to us suffers from it.
So if you haven’t marked Saraab as a ‘To be Watched’ drama on your list, make it a priority, because it is going to do well, and you want to follow it from the start instead of binge-watching it later.
The return of Sami – Sonya pair
Ever since his powerful performance in Toh Dil Ka Kia Hua in 2017, Sami Khan has been a regular at HUM TV, delivering hits like Inkaar and Ishq Zahe Naseeb. His co-star from Ishq Zahe Naseeb was not just part of the Aangan family but also is part of the currently on air Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida with Zahid Ahmed and Mansha Pasha.
Together, Sami and Sonya had set the screen on fire on multiple occasions, and Saraab takes that chemistry to another level. Not just that, Sonya’s performance ensures that the audience remains confused in a good way, since her character Hoorain cares about her cousin Asfand but doesn’t want anyone in the house to know.
He on the other hand enjoys the attention of both the sisters (Nazish Jahangir playing the younger one) and while we believe that he too is in love with Hoorain, by the time the hour is up, we realize that there is more than meets the eye. How the two star performers will keep the audience engaged is why you should have Saraab on your priority list.
featuring #SamiKhan & #SonyaHussyn 
First Episode starting from tonight at 8pm on #HUMTV Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://goo.gl/o3EPXe Digitally powered by Singer Pakistan. #SingerPakistan
Support cast is good for a change
If you are fed up with a support cast that doesn’t know how to act, then your wait is over; Saraab has an ensemble cast, composed of veterans and experienced campaigners. Watching the legendary Aurangzeb Laghari back on screen as the father of the three sisters – Ghana Ali, Sonya Hussyn and Nazish Jahangir – was a breath of fresh air.
The scene where he entered the house and checked the telephone set was something only a veteran could have executed as per the director’s instructions. It was good to see Sajid Shah as Sami Khan’s father, Kinza Malik as the mother, Farida Shabbir as her sister in law, Mohsin Ejaz as Ghana Ali’s husband and Jehanzeb Khan as Mohsin Ejaz’s brother, providing us with a chance to see actors who should be on TV, but aren’t.
It was surprising to see Nazish Jahangir in an important role here, otherwise she is wasted in supporting characters, something which should now be reserved for newcomers.
Tackles a taboo subject in style
They say we have many stories to tell; what they never do is transform these stories into screenplays and execute them into a perfect screenplay. Edison Idrees Masih has not just tackled a subject that is considered taboo but has done it so beautifully that you will end up sympathizing with the people suffering from it.
Kudos to director Mohsin Talat for understanding the screenplay and executing it to the best of his abilities, keeping the audience engaged before and after the breaks. The first episode could have been edited in a sharper manner but then the audience wouldn’t have been able to relate to the characters like they did in the end. Do we have an emerging writer-director duo on our hands, only time will tell but one thing is certain – they do understand what the audience wants and worrying about ratings is the last thing on their mind.
Shocking twists keep you intrigued
From the very first scene to the last one, things happen in an unexpected way, especially if you are an ardent fan of Pakistani dramas. Where did the flower go that Hoorain put in her book in the first scene, what happened to the cut on her hand from that flower, was she imagining talking to Sami on the phone, why didn’t her sister let her in the kitchen, why was her father not anxious to have a tea prepared by her, why was Asfand always confused when he met Hoorain and where did he disappear after asking her to meet him on the roof.
These are some of the questions that the audience would be asking themselves after watching the first episode; they will have some of the answers in the second episode next week.
Saraab might be a Pakistani drama but its Hitchcockian treatment demands patience, and the mystery will reveal itself when the time is right.

The OST fits perfectly, everywhere
Not since Mere Paas Tum Ho OST last year has any OST fitted every mood and every scene in a befitting manner, until the OST of Saraab. Composed and sung by the King of OSTs Naveed Nashad (who was also the OST composer of MPTH) it adds value to the scenes, no matter what the mood is.
Be it a sad scene featuring a confused Hoorain, a happy sequence featuring both Hoorain and Asfand or a scene where the mental illness is visible, Naveed Nashad’s sad and happy renditions of the OST fit the scene. Don’t be surprised that by the time Saraab ends, the OST would be as popular as the other hit OSTs of 2020.
