Ali added, “This film is a romantic comedy and for the first time I am playing a romantic lead. The dynamics work differently because the story is different and so are the characters. It’s too early to talk about the characters and storyline but I can say this, both characters are extremely fun and complicated. each dealing with their own complexity. It’s a fun-paced rom-com for everyone.”
When asked about the characters in the movie Hareem said, “In Heer Maan Ja I will be seen portraying the role of Heer who is a textile designer with a sweet soul. For an actor to be playing two diversified characters in a very short time span is an exhilarating experience and I got that with Eman in Parchi and now Heer in our latest film. I couldn’t have asked for a better role”.
While Ali’s character is slightly different. “I play a guy named Kabir who is super confident and a go-getter. He does what he feels is right and gets what he wants. The only thing is that he constantly runs into bad luck which adds to a continuous struggle to balance a perfect life – that’s what made this character really enjoyable to play”, said Ali.

Both the actors liked the storyline and concept of the movie but definitely for different reasons. Ali said he “really liked the idea and the concept of the movie. I haven’t done a rom-com before so it was a different experience for me.” While Hareem sharing her outlook on the character in the movie said, “Every actor wants to experiment with his roles. For most actors, it’s not about the bigger screen time but the chance to play a certain character that may not be mainstream for the audience but is what the artist craves to perform.”
Heer Maan Jaa is expected to hit cinemas on Eid-ul-Azha this year.
