ISHTIAQ AHMED'S SIX NOVELS OF JAMSHED SERIES WERE TELEVISED BY PTV IN A SERIES "ADVENTURE TIMES IN 2002. THAT WAS THE ADAPTATION OF THOSE NOVELS. BASICALLY THE CHARACTERS WERE NOT THAT OF JAMSHED SERIES.
ADAPTED AND DRAMATISED BY FAROOQ AHMED AND DEIRECTED AND PRODUCED BY SENIOR PTV PRODUCER ASIF ANSARI . ASIF ANSARI STILL SERVES AS EXECUTIVE PROGRAM MANAGER PTV KARACHI STUDIOS.
