Musaddiq Malek Reveals Habs Facts

First, Musaddiq Malek talked about how he got Habs. He said, one day, I was about to go to Islamabad because I was offered a very good job related to production, I was being paid well and it was nearby my hometown as well, I already gave my resignation and was just ready to go when I was given the script of drama serial Habs, I was clueless about the script but then I discussed it with team and fell in the love with the script, I want to tell you that I never met the writer Alia Makhdoom, I only got the script through the team, also, we used to discuss the script through production team.

Musaddiq Malek talked about the drama’s casting, saying, “the casting wasn’t done by the channel solely, I had a few options in my mind about actors, I wasn’t restricted from the channel about the casting untill Ushna Shah came, Ushna Shah was referred by the channel, at that time, I had my own options, I was going to finalise one female lead, male lead was not even in my mind and no one refered anyone, I took my script to Feroze Khan, he read the script and said Okay, he came to office and signed it, first we casted Feroze, I was sorted about the female lead when Ushna came to me and then Nadeem Baig called and said, ‘pitch your drama to her’, in my mind I had done casting (didn’t reveal name of the female actor). I am so glad and thanks to channel that they referred Ushna Shah”

Musaddiq Malek also discussed writing revisions after hearing the story. After team approval, he said.  “I changed the script after the consent of the team. A few things were changed and tonned down by me. One thing I could not change was my own character, it had to be in the story because it was making the story about doubt. I tried to change it but it could not happen. Also, the slap scene didn’t make sense to me but I was told by Nadeem Baig to do it quietly as it is approved by the channel. Directors can’t change more from script, the other thing I was against was about the character Soha, I didn’t want her to come back and when she came back, she was a complete vamp. He further said that he and Ayesha Omer tried to tone down Soha a lot and she also said, ‘this wasn’t what I signed’

Musaddiq Malek discussed Basit and Ayesha. He never thought Ayesha was doing anything wrong; she played a confused persona brilliantly. He stated she was a mess. He stated she was always saying yes to Basit, but she had to say no sometimes. Basit didn’t change; he asked Ayesha,  ‘whom were you texting to?’ Childhood traumas don’t go away easy; Basit and Ayesha won’t change; they’ll live with their difficulties. Watch this video:

He confessed that Nadeem Baig rewrote the latest Habs episode. He eventually understood that the adjustments he made at the beginning of the drama made it worse and out of control. Nadeem Baig wrote a half-script that I read, and we filmed the last episode. Last episode was different.
