Those who follow Mehreen Jabbar are probably aware of MJ’s new project- Neeyat. She’s been shooting for it for over 40 days now. Following are the details:
Drama: Neeyat
Director: Mehreen Jabbar
Writer: L. Pontius
Starring: Ahsan Khan, Mahira Khan, Deepti Gupta, Humayun Saeed, Tania Kazi
I think Adeel hussain was supposed to be in this play but didn’t get his visa in time ( darrrrn)
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
Here are some pictures from Deepti and Mehreen’s Facebook pages:
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
MJ projects are always worth looking forward to -- interesting to see Mahira Khan on her cast, since her MTV VJ days I thought she was star material
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
Nice...bit sceptical about inclusion of Humayun Saeed but hopefully Mehreen J will make a difference. When will it air?
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
didn't know about the Adeel Hussain bit - dern it - that's why Humayun is in it. :-s
they are still wrapping up the shoot for it so probably won't be until end of this year before it starts.
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
When is it starting??? Although I would have liked Adeel Hussain in it, I must admit Humayun Saeed is looking rather suave in the pictures......LOL, not sure about Deepti's new fringe...
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
^ They are still shooting it so I am guessing probably end of this year. haiiiii I can't wait!
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
Just off topic, I have recently watched Vasl because of MJ and wasn't impressed, I thought it was the writer rather than MJ who disappointed... Also it was hard to feel sorry for Ayesha Khan with those "witchie archie brows"... Anyway I really enjoyed reading the threads by some of you 'old Guppies' on Daam and Malaal , especially Dooree and Rukhsarbibi.
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
^ HEHEHE just read your comment Rabiya. MJ+ Umera's dramas are plain brilliant and I get very emotionally invested in them.
Update on Neeyat!! Shooting completed last week and now MJ has started editing it. Hopefully she'll be done in the next two months. Uff I can't wait!!!

I always hated Humayun Saeed (even though I'd never really followed him :p) and THEN Doraha happened. My love for that drama cannot be condensed in one post so I won't get into that but Humayun Saeed's performance in it was simply brilliant!! he and soniya Rehman had an amazing on screen chemistry. I started respecting him as an actor after that drama.
So have faith in Mehreen!!!! she will make him shine!!
uff Mehreen if you are reading this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE juldi say editing khutam karain and give us Neeyat!! LOVE YOU!!!
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
waitttttt how come adeel isnt in it anymore???
im looking forward to this.
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
Adeel didn't get his Visa in time. I think he was MJ's first choice

Behind the scenes of ‘Neeyat’ (on week of India-Pakistan semi-final last month).
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
thanks KraziM for posting it! ^
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
I just noticed that neeyat isnt by umera! I googled this pontius guy and apparently he is an american. Does he write the screenplay in english and someone else writes the dialogues in urdu? Also can you all tell me where you will be watching this, i.e tv or website. I presume it starts on in pakistan before usa and uk.
Re: Neeyat by Mehreen Jabbar
^ he has written several pakistani plays. He is the hubby of Deepti Gupta!
