Актёр Аднан Сиддики критиковал монтаж сериала «Занжейрин» за сокращение его роли

(Web Desk): Actor Adnan Siddiqui has voiced dissatisfaction with the editing and direction of drama ‘Zanjeerain’, saying extensive scenes he filmed were removed from the broadcast version. Siddiqui said the editing choices reduced what he considered a prominent role to something closer to a cameo, while also affecting fellow actor Usman Javed and, potentially, the drama’s female lead Sajal Ali. Speaking in a recent interview, Siddiqui praised the cast of ‘Zanjeerain’ and the locations where the drama was filmed. However, he expressed disappointment with aspects of the drama’s editing, particularly the removal of scenes that had been filmed for his character. The actor said he had shot numerous lengthy sequences that ultimately did not appear in the final episodes, leaving his role significantly smaller than expected. Usman Javed also affected by editing Siddiqui said fellow actor Usman Javed also saw several of his scenes removed from the final cut. Javed had previously appeared to express his frustration over the editing in a social media post, drawing attention to a scene that was filmed but ultimately did not make it into the broadcast version. In his post, Javed wrote: “Mashallah edit, you can see tears in my eyes but this shot wasn’t even included in the final edit. Please have someone who actually understands editing handle the final cut.” His comments added to concerns surrounding the way scenes and performances have been edited for the drama. Sajal screen time also questioned Siddiqui also pointed to what he described as an impact on the drama’s female lead, Sajal Ali. He noted that Sajal’s character has reportedly been absent from several episodes, while the storyline has increasingly focused on the romantic relationship between Sohrab Khan and Shireen. The actor’s observations have raised questions among viewers about the direction the narrative has taken and how editing decisions may have reshaped the roles of key cast members.
