Background and Production
Writing
The novel Aangan was written by Khadija Mastoor in 1962, and won the Adamji Literacy Award in the same year. It was also translated into 13 languages. The director, Ehteshamuddin, was most interested in partition, "It was initially thought out as a film but now we're making a play out of it," he told The News International in a March 2017 interview, "We might turn it into a film later."[7] He chose Mustafa Afridi to write the screenplay and Afridi worked on the story for more than a year before filming commenced.[1] While the original novel is set in the 1940s and 1950s, DAWN Images reported that the drama is planned as a three-part series spanning a number of decades and will also feature the story of the 1980s and 2000s as continuity.[8]
Casting
On 17 October 2017, it was reported that Mawra Hocane had signed up for the project.[9] On 19 October, it was reported that Ahsan Khan had also signed up,[10] along with Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir.[11] On 4 November, Sonya Hussain signed up for the project, completing the lead cast. Other cast in supporting roles include Abid Ali and Zaib Rehman; who will play the parents of Ahsan's character; along with Omair Rana and Uzma Hassan.[1] It was also revealed that Ahsan will be playing a double role.[8]
Ahsan said in an interview with The Express Tribune, "I haven't done anything after Chupan Chupai, Rehbaraa and Ishq. MD Productions and Ehtesham were my biggest attraction towards it and I loved Mustafa Afridi's Sang-e-Mar Mar, who is now doing the screenplay for Aangan. I found the combination great."[12] Sonya said, "I think in some bizarre way, I relate to the world that Aangan is set in […] I've never extensively worked with him before, but [Ehtesham is] truly one of our finest directors."[1]
Filming
The shooting for the drama began on 7 November 2017,[13] and is continuing.[14] Ahad has said that the drama is expected to go on-air in March or April 2018.[3]
