Anwar Maqsood’s latest play Kyun Nikala is set to be staged in theatres on the eve of Independence Day.
The play will be screened at the Arts Council, Karachi at 10:30 pm on August 13.
During a press conference in Karachi MAqsood said that the play was written way before it became a political slogan. Furthermore, he stated that he came into an agreement with the Director Dawar Mehmood that none of his words will be omitted from the play.
While talking about the play, Maqsood said the play is related to a cook providing his services to a PML-N leader for the last 30 years.
The playwright further said that the entire piece will encompass the upcoming general elections, featuring all political parties. He hoped that no political party will object to the artistic play.
He quipped that July 25, the scheduled for the polls, will ‘free the masses’ and urged the voters to exercise their right carefully as a major ‘bidding’ of candidates occurs during the polls.
‘Mujhey kyun nikala’ became a popular wording after the deposed premier Nawaz Sharif used it as a political slogan at his public rallies to garner public support against his disqualification by the top court on July 28, 2017, in the Panama Papers case.
