Saadat Hasan Manto is one of the biggest names in Urdu literature and one of the most read Urdu short fiction writers. It was a huge pleasure for the Manto’s readers and fans when the news of a film, Manto, based on the writer’s life was revealed more than a year ago. The very first unofficial look of Sarmad Khoosat as Manto was revealed earlier but the official first look posters of the film are just released which make the people wait for the film more anxiously.
The posters came with various confirmations about the rumors spanning around the cast of the film. The mega-star film includes many TV veterans including Sarmad Khoosat, Mahira Khan, Nimra Bucha, Saba Qamar, Sania Saeed and Nadia Afghan in lead and supporting roles along with cameos by Faisal Qureshi, Humayun Saeed and Savera Nadeem. Sania Saeed is playing the character of Manto’s wife and Saba Qamar is reprising the role of Madam Noor Jahan.
Manto is produced by TV’s stalwarts Asif Raza Mir and Baber Javed and directed by none other than multi-talented Sarmad Khoosat himself. Khoosat has given many hit TV shows, most notably PTV’s sitcom Shashlik and Hum’s huge hit Humsafar.
The film is expected to be released in September but the confirmation of the release date is still due.
The most teasing poster is of Mahira Khan who is playing the character of a monkey’s master (Madari) in the biopic.
Saba Qamar is looking good as Madam Noor Jahan in these posters.
