Director Nabeel Qureshi tweeted that his cast and crew had been “attacked by a mob” in Karachi. Many child actors were also on set at the time of the incident, including Hira Mani, Salman Saquib Sheikh (Mani), Gul-e-Rana, and a few others. The celebs attacked by a mob are in a continuous state of shock.
We have been attacked by a mob in PIB Colony, Jamshed Quarter Martin Road during the shoot,” Nabeel wrote on Twitter. “They got into the house we were shooting a hundred people. They harassed women/actresses. [The mob] beat the sh*t out of the crew, stole mobiles, equipment.”

Moreover, other actors also presented their sorrows. Something like this has never happened and is indeed very disturbing to witness as there were child actors as well.
So sorry to hear this. Hope everyone is safe, and that the Sindh Police take swift action.
