The entertainment channel’s new sports drama ‘Meedan’ has become a topic of discussion on social media even before it airs. Famous actor Faisal Qureshi will be seen in the role of a football coach in the drama, while the cast also includes Dinar Mubeen, Meher Bano, Warda Aziz and other artists.
After the trailer of the drama was released, many social media users have started comparing its story and style with the famous Bollywood film ‘Chak De India’. Viewers say that the main story of the drama revolves around a coach who leads a women’s football team to success, while Shah Rukh Khan also appeared as the coach of a women’s hockey team in ‘Chak De India’.
According to users, not only the story but also Faisal Qureshi’s expressions, style and character presentation are somewhat reminiscent of Shah Rukh Khan’s character. Although the sports in both projects are different, as one is about hockey and the other about football, many believe that there are significant similarities between the two.
It should be noted that ‘Chak De India’ was also exceptionally well-received in Pakistan and is still considered one of the most popular sports films, which is why the comparisons between the two began as soon as the trailer of ‘Meedan’ was released.
Interesting comments were also seen on social media. One user sarcastically named the drama ‘Chak De Pakistan’, while another questioned, ‘What was the need to copy an Indian film?’ Another user said that if Faisal Qureshi had been clean-shaven, his resemblance to Shah Rukh Khan would have been even more noticeable.
Although the full story of the drama has not yet been revealed, this discussion based on the trailer has gained momentum on social media. Now the eyes of the viewers are on whether ‘Meedan’ will be able to establish its own identity after its airing.
