As the much-anticipated “Mann Jogi“ makes its debut tomorrow, audiences are eagerly awaiting the latest masterpiece from HUM TV. We had the privilege of speaking with the director, Kashif Nisar, to delve into the journey from conception to execution, the challenges of crafting such an intense narrative, and his experience working with the legendary Sultana Siddiqui. When asked about how “Mann Jogi” came to be, Kashif Nisar explained,

‘Mann Jogi’ is a comment that emerged from a fragmented, highly chaotic, divided, and intolerant society. As a storyteller, one cannot remain indifferent to the abnormalities around them. So, we tried to play our due part by producing ‘Mann Jogi.’

The series promises to be a reflective and powerful commentary on societal issues, using the medium of television to reach a broad audience with its potent message. Creating a mini-series with a storyline as intense as “Mann Jogi” comes with its unique set of challenges. Nisar shared his insights on this, saying,

It’s never easy to comment in a politically and religiously divided society. So yes, it’s a difficult and sensitive topic.

He further elaborated on his preference for the short format,

I prefer the short format. To me, a series from 8 to 12 episodes is ideal to tell any plot or story. The rest is business.

Nisar’s approach emphasizes the importance of conciseness and impact, ensuring that each episode of “Mann Jogi” delivers a powerful punch without unnecessary prolongation. Working with Sultana Siddiqui, the creator of HUM TV and the visionary behind “Mann Jogi,” has been a remarkable experience for Kashif Nisar. He expressed his admiration and gratitude, stating,

‘Mann Jogi’ is all about Sultana Aapa. It’s her ideal and credit. Working with Sultana Aapa is always a pleasure and more than a channel-director relationship. It’s a creative journey to explore and enjoy.

Kashif Nisar’s words reflect the deep respect and collaborative spirit that have been pivotal in bringing “Mann Jogi” to life. Their partnership has fostered an environment where creativity thrives, resulting in a series that is both thought-provoking and artistically rich. As we approach the premiere of “Mann Jogi,” it’s clear that this series is set to make a significant impact.

Through the lens of powerful storytelling and masterful direction, it addresses the urgent issues of intolerance and societal division with a sensitivity and depth that is sure to resonate with viewers. Tune in tomorrow at 8:00 PM on HUM TV for the first episode of “Mann Jogi” and embark on a journey that promises to challenge perceptions, provoke thought, and ultimately, inspire change.
