It is fact that Mohsin Abbas Haider has given many hit projects till date. Recently, he opened up about his flop drama. He talked about it in the show Chocolate Times.
To the question of host, “to which director and actor you would say, ‘don’t cry over spilt milk’. He said, “I would take name of Ali Hassan, I am taking Ali’s name because he is my friend and he is like a family to me, Ali and I did a project named Meeraas, we have learnt a lesson from that drama that you cant do all the experiments, we have learnt that a ‘Hero’ of the drama can’t afford any experiment. We did all the experiments in that drama including bad hair style, speaking style and other things. The drama didn’t do that well but still if people come to me and say, ‘your drama Meeraas was good’, I don’t believe them and say, ‘get yourself checked’.
Meeras drama was a Big Bang Production presentation which had a stellar cast including Saboor Aly, Sawaira Nadeem, Mohsin Abbas Haider and Fahad Sheikh. Mohsin played the character of Haris who had two wives. Sawaira Nadeem and Saboor Aly played his wife’s characters. Qavi Khan’s performance was appreciated in Meeraas as father of JahanArra (Sawaira Nadeem).
