Sajal Aly is having a good time right now in showbiz. The Pakistani actress’s outstanding performances continue to garner attention on a global scale. We can’t wait to watch Sajal in the upcoming series as the enduring character of Umrao Jaan.

Sajal will play the lead role in the upcoming television series version of the well-known Urdu novel “Umrao Jaan Ada”.

Umrao Jaan Ada, written by Mirza Hadi Ruswa and published in 1899, is regarded as the first Urdu novel. The narrative centres on the life of a poet and courtesan of the same name in the Indian subcontinent society and culture of the 19th century.

Producers Hamid Hussain and Muhammad Yaqoob will bring to life this famous period drama under the auspices of South Asian celebrity management company Action Consultancy, based in Abu Dhabi. In order to provide additional information about the upcoming series, Hamid Hussain spoke with a media outlet. He said that in contrast to film adaptations, which “had taken creative liberties to shoehorn the story into a cinematic narrative,” the series will “heavily on the original Urdu version of the novel.”

There are many aspects of the novel that have never been depicted in an audiovisual endeavor, continued Hamid.

What’s Love Got to Do With It comes after that. With a strong female lead, this is Sajal’s second significant film. Umrao Jaan Ada is now in production and should soon make its debut on a significant streaming service.

In the field of Urdu literature, Mirza Hadi Ruswa’s 1899 novel “Umrao Jaan Ada” is regarded as a classic. It is notable for portraying the culture and society of 19th-century India, with a concentration on courtesans’ lifestyles.

Numerous cinematic versions of the famous book have been produced in both Pakistan and India. The 1972 remake was helmed by Hasan Tariq in Pakistan, and Rani played the lead. In India, Rekha appeared in Muzaffar Ali’s 1981 film, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan did the same in J.P. Dutta’s 2006 remake. The book also served as the basis for two 1958 Indian movies, “Mehndi,” directed by S.M. Yusuf, and “Zindagi Ya Toofan,” by Nakhshab Jarchavi.

Sajal Aly’s last appearances on the job were in the television shows Aangan, Alif, Yeh Dil Mera, Ishq E Laa, and Sinf-e-Aahan.
