News regarding the cast of HUM TV’s Kaala Doriya has been making the rounds for quite some time, due to the bewildering switch in cast members. Penned by Saima Akram, the project was set to cast Farhan Saeed and Sana Javed. However, the writer shared a post recently where it was revealed that Usman Mukhtar would be replacing Farhan in the play. Now, it seems that Farhan Saeed has rejoined the project once again.
The History
In September 2021, details around the cast of the project being locked, with Farhan Saeed and Sana Javed as the leads, began making rounds. Saima Akram, who has penned projects such as Suno Chanda, and Ishq Jalebi was to join hands with producer Momina Duraid and director Amin Iqbal in what was to be Farhan and Sana’s first time being paired opposite each other.
However, in a post shared by Saima recently on Instagram, it was cited that Sana Javed would be starring opposite Usman Mukhtar.
Yet Another Update
In another, more recent Instagram post, Saima has shared that Farhan Saeed has joined the cast again, opposite Sana Javed, with Usman Mukhtar no longer being a part of Kaala Doriya.
Allegations Against Sana Javed
This begs the question: what exactly happened? This news comes after a string of allegations levied against the actress who has been accused of misconduct with colleagues and members of the entertainment industry. While the actress is now immersed in a to-and-fro legal battles, as per the social media statements put out by concerned parties, the question then arises: did Usman Mukhtar leave the project due to Sana Javed?
Usman Mukhtar’s response
To sum up: no. Usman Mukhtar spoke to Galaxy Lollywood, highlighting the real reason behind him no longer being attached to the play.
“People assume a lot of things,” states Usman with a slight chuckle. “Actually, my mother has not been well. She was in the ICU. I’ve been dealing with that.”
He further explains how oscillating between two cities for longer shoots, while his mother is unwell seemed rather impossible for him, thereby prompting him to back out of the project.
While audiences do have clarification on the matter now, here’s wishing Usman Mukhtar’s mother a speedy recovery.
