Danial K Afzal’s upcoming web series Fatima Jinnah: Sister | Revolutionist | Stateswoman is out. The period drama divides Jinnah’s life into three eras, based on three major turning points. Fatima Jinnah: Sister | Revolutionist | Stateswoman cast Sundus Farhan, Sajal Aly, and Samiya Mumtaz in each era respectively.
From a dentist turned politician in her 30s. To her 50s and the struggles post-partition. As well as trying to uphold the mantel after the death of her brother in Katrak Parsi Colony Karachi, which was Pakistan’s then Federal Capital.
“Fatima Jinnah has decided to make her return to politics.”
The web series also shed light on many of her achievements from obtaining a dental degree from the University of Calcutta in 1923. To being the first female dentist of undivided India.
Then post-independence, she co-founded the Pakistan Women’s Association. A body that played an integral role in the settlement of the women migrants in Pakistan. Then there was her book and years of censorship.
I have merely stated a fact and an excerpt from Fatima Jinnah's book

Followed by the presidential election of 1965 against military dictator Ayub Khan. Something people still have opinions about.
Have no expectations from the movie. The real story of Fatima Jinnah post independence if shown would expose the military establishment and therefore will be banned. All the best though https://t.co/Wok4Sq8muc

People also had opinions about casting.
I'm sure no one is doubting Sajjal's abilities…most of us weren't aware of Gangubai but we all have seen Fatima Jinnah since we were kids in our pak stds book so if would have been nice to a see a much mature looking actress to do this role.. https://t.co/xSl4dszxvs
