"Main Manto Nahi Hoon" is a daring and thought-provoking drama that brings together powerhouse talents including Humayun Saeed, Sajal Aly, Sanam Saeed, Azaan Sami Khan, and more.
The story centers around a man shaped by the spirit of Manto — driven to pen his own truth — and a woman whose influence lies not in volume, but in quiet strength.
Humayun Saeed as Manto
The only son of Waqar Manto, this Manto is a reserved yet passionate professor who challenges societal expectations. Motivated by truth and guided by conviction, he chooses to honor his lineage without being bound by it.
