Usman Mukhtar felt Aswad was too toxic (which he is). The <strong><em>Janaan<\/em><\/strong> actor wanted to play a different character, not the usual problematic male that somehow redeems himself. This led to Usman Mukhtar having the <strong><em>Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay<\/em><\/strong> team changing several things about the character.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen I read the script and the novel I thought that the character of Aswad was too toxic. I wanted to do something different this time. Then later on we had a conversation with the team and we changed many things in Aswad\u2019s character. I refused to portray a violent character. The team cooperated with me and changed what I requested them to change in script.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While Aswad is still not a chivalrous gentleman, at least now we can have a love-hate relationship with the character rather than completely resent him. However, the Sabaat actor revealed that he&#8217;s still getting threats due to Aswad&#8217;s behavior despite significantly toning down his toxicity. The actor had them cut out the violent bits in the story. Imagine if he hadn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNow we\u2019re getting a massive response on Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay. People are loving the storyline and everything. Meanwhile, I\u2019m also receiving threatening messages that what you are doing to Mehreen is totally wrong, you\u2019ll be destroyed.
