Famous playwright and director Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar said that Humayun Saeed’s role in Mere Paas Tum Ho was so unique and excellent that not even Bollywood Khans like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, or Aamir Khan could have performed it better.
Mere Paas Tum Ho is one of Pakistan’s most popular dramas. It was written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, directed by Nadeem Baig, and produced by Humayun Saeed. The drama was aired on ARY Digital.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar recently appeared on a podcast and shared important insights about the casting and characters in the drama.
He said that a good actor is one who delivers their dialogues well and looks natural in the role.
He explained that Humayun Saeed’s character was so special that not even Bollywood Khans could have played it better. He added that this principle applies to every actor, meaning not every role suits every actor, and sometimes another actor may fit a character better.
Regarding casting, he said he insisted on choosing Humayun Saeed and Adnan Siddiqui for the drama.
He mentioned that he had not worked with Adnan Siddiqui before and initially did not consider him a big actor. But when Adnan Siddiqui was suggested, many asked why.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar explained that the character played by Adnan Siddiqui needed an actor who looked very wealthy, whose way of walking also showed richness. According to him, Adnan Siddiqui was the perfect choice for this role.
