After winning hearts in Zanjeerein, Danyal Zafar teams up with Komal Meer for Raqaas, a Green Entertainment project written by Radain Shah and directed by Shahid Shafaat.
Danyal Zafar has become one of the most talked-about names on Pakistani television. His portrayal of Sarbuland Khan in Zanjeerein has earned him a devoted fanbase that tunes in every episode, eager to see how he navigates the character’s layered mix of positivity, trauma, and pain. Now, fresh off that momentum, the actor-singer is gearing up for his next big screen outing. He will star opposite Komal Meer in an upcoming drama tentatively titled Raqaas, set to air on Green Entertainment soon.
Danyal Zafar began his drama career with the Ramadan special Taana Bana and steadily built his repertoire through projects like Stand Up Girl and Farrar. His ability to shift between acting and music has set him apart in a competitive industry, and his Danyal Zafar Instagram following continues to grow as fans dissect every frame of his performances. Komal Meer, meanwhile, represents a new generation of Pakistani actresses pushing against typecasting. Known largely for girly, naive roles, she broke the mould with her natural, grounded performance in Goonj, where she played a real-life character with striking authenticity. Pairing her with Danyal signals that Raqaas will demand serious acting chops from both leads.
The project brings back a proven creative combination. Radain Shah, the writer behind the critically acclaimed Duniyapur, has penned the script, while Shahid Shafaat, who directed that same blockbuster, is behind the camera. Their previous collaboration set a high bar for storytelling and production value, and expectations for Raqaas are already soaring. The drama is currently being shot in the lush, misty hills of Nathiagali, a location choice that promises a visual palette quite different from the usual urban Pakistani drama setting. The hill station backdrop could give the series a cinematic texture that sets it apart from typical Green Entertainment fare.
With a compelling lead pair, a writer-director duo that has already delivered a hit, and a fresh shooting location, Raqaas has all the ingredients of a breakout drama. Green Entertainment has been aggressive in acquiring high-potential projects, and this one fits their strategy perfectly. The big question now is whether Radain Shah’s writing will give Danyal Zafar a role as memorable as Sarbuland Khan — and whether Komal Meer will use this platform to shatter her typecast image once and for all. One thing is certain: Pakistani drama fans have a new reason to stay glued to their screens.
