The Chakkar team answered many questions about the film. One particular question that intrigued everyone was “who were the original lead actors for the film”. Nida took the opportunity to answer the question.

The Good Morning Pakistan host reveals that initially Mawra Hocane and Feroze Khan were the first choice for this film. The two stars were almost finalized for their roles, also receiving their advance payment. However, both backed out. Mawra and Feroze sent back their paychecks through their team.

Nonetheless, the Chakkar producers are extremely happy with Neelam Muneer and Ahsan Khan for taking on the project. Check out the full interview here.



Produced by Nida Yasir and Yasir Nawaz under the Farid Nawaz Productions banner, Chakkar is one of the top Pakistani releases this Eid. Despite having lesser shows, the film has had a decent growth, collecting 28 lakhs on Day 1 and 54 lakhs on Day 2.
