Legendary comedians Moin Akhtar and Anwar Maqsood were like two peas in a pod. Pakistani showbiz has not seen such a seamless pairing of two thespians who were both at the top of their game in their heydays. To this day, Pakistanis really miss their biting yet sharp commentary on current issues. Their most famous production Loose Talk <\/strong>remains a household name, given Moin Akhtar’s top-notch mimicry skills coupled with socially-conscious questions posed by his co-star Anwar Maqsood. It’s a formula that resonated with Pakistanis, and continues to endure to this day.<\/p>\n

But alas, Pakistan lost Moin Akhtar almost a decade ago, and things were never the same again.<\/p>\n

It is said that time heals all wounds. Perhaps that is why, after so many years, Anwar Maqsood is again making his presence felt with numerous productions. But it seems his latest project with actor Yasir Hussain is drawing a lot of comparisons with the slick production that was Loose Talk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Anwar Maqsood and Yasir Hussain show<\/h3>\n

A new talk show featuring Anwar Maqsood and Yasir Hussain has become the talk of the town. Sponsored by Sensodyne, the show\u00a0Mere Aangan Se<\/strong> has raised some eyebrows. People are finding close similarities to the scriptwriter’s old show\u00a0Loose Talk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While Yasir Hussain is a talented actor, he is what most people would call a controversial figure. Due to his opinionated nature and outspoken personality, the\u00a0Jhooti<\/strong> actor doesn’t really strike as a fan-favorite with Pakistanis.<\/p>\n

However, not all reactions to the new web-series were negative. Many fans and followers also stood by the 36-year-old’s side. Before we get into the reactions, let’s take a look at the show’s promo:<\/p>\n

Most of Anwar Maqsood’s old fans were disheartened. Some were even angered by the promo. They opine that Yasir Hussain is not talented enough to replace Moin Akhter in such a show.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at what these netizens have to say:<\/p>\n

I saw promo where Yasir Hussain replaced legend Moin Akhtar in his new talk show with Anwar Maqsood called "Merey Angan Se". This is a great disrespect to Moin Akhtar. Someone needs to sue these two guys for hurting sentiments of billions people.<\/p>\n
