Azizi is a figment of Aftab Iqbal's imagination who first appeared in his writings, later Sohail Ahmed's talent made it into a runaway success. If Aftab Iqbal comes out with a little different concept that does well, viewers will benefit from it. But the credit will off course will remain with Aftab Iqbal for being the brains behind 2 successful shows.
Sohail Ahmed's talent can only be matched by Shakeel Siddiqui, who is funny but not cheap. But as the show is based in LAhore by casting well known stage actors available there they are trying to put together a winning formula for better ratings, they are counting on stage artists who themselves are responsible for the devastation of Pakistan's Lahore theater.[due to display of mental and physical vulgarity making families uncomfortable to ever return to theatre with their offending pathetic show]
Naseem Vicky is not very funny even with double meaning cheap jokes, for show to be successful it is important the person is able to survive for sometime, and his prospects don't look good. Amanullah is a veteran comedian who does make people laugh with his witty one-liners but does get laughter with mostly Punjabi act[which mite not be understood by many], suffers from a tendency to go offtrack and his punchlines become unabashedly vulgar. Both of these stage actors ramble and repeat their gigs which will gather cold responses after a week or so of consecutive shows. Best of luck to Aftab Iqbal but the people he is betting on can make his show look like a dud.

I think you have not seen Sohail Ahmed other than Hasb e Hal, he can not be matched by shakeel in any way. shakeel is mostly using punjabi stage drama jokes in his comedy. Sohail Ahmed is not only a comedian but also an excellent actor, while shakeel is only a cheap comedian. So please think before writing something.

I don't know what you guys are going about. While Sohail Ahmad, Khalid Abbas Daar are good, Amanullah is the legend. Anyone who has ever seen a Punjabi stage starring them will tell you the same. There was a time that just by putting Amanullah in the drama, it will be super hit.

It is unfortunate for people to discredit a comedian like Shakeel Siddiqui just because he is'nt from Lahore, all comedians tend to fall off the wagon to evoke laughter. I don't recall when Shakeel Siddiqui had to use punjabi jokes ending with your mother****, you sister*****. Shakeel Siddiqui belongs to Karachi theatre and Umar Sharif school, Moin Akhtar and Umar Sharif style of juggat is copied by Punjabi stage comedians including legend Amanullah.
Shakeel Siddiqui has been performing for the last 2 years in Pakistan, need to see his talent in Pakistani programs as well , his wit has fans from all over the world. He is well known everywhere since Bakra Qiston Pe in the 80s. No one knew Sohail Ahmed before his act on Azizy, he was forgotten sometime back for doing character roles in PTV dramas with not much success.
As far as Sohail Ahmed's piety is concerned. Take a look at recent punjabi stage drama Love Spot which is witness to cheap dialogue delivery by Sohail Ahmed as well as vulgar dances by skin tight kurta cladded fat women with no IQ or shame.
Sohail Ahmed's azizy is brainchild of Aftab Iqbal. Aftab Iqbal's creation Azizy is a person with negative mindset who argues about everything in Pakistan. I've watched Ahmed's stage performances they are hollow to say the least. It was the genius of Aftab Iqbal to refine the performance of Sohail Ahmed who used to deliver most punchlines in Punjabi which were neither understood nor laughed at. People in Pakistan are so stupid to forget writers and directors' contribution for making an actor to deliver a line.
If this program would've been done in US or other country Aftab Iqbal would've sued the a** of the channel for using his idea for their own self-promotion. Azizy belongs to Aftab Iqbal not hired actor Sohail Ahmed.

It's not matter of city. can you give me any that shakeel has performed any character role on tv or stage as Sohail Ahmed has performed? If you have watched 14 August episode of Hasb e Hal, you wouldn't compare him with shakeel. Even though Azizi is concived by aftab iqbal but sohail ahmed has made azizi more popular with his skills. If you want to give azizi credit to aftab then it should have been stop after aftab's exit from hasb e hal.

Only way to give competition to Azizi is to cast Khalid Abbas Dar
Most educated and a very very talented comedian with great singing voice.
Naseem Vicky is good and Aman Ullah give impression of cheap comedy not the image Aftab would like to protray when under pressure of being victim of his own success.

Khalid Abbas dar is busy on express news his program name is "dar darling" something like that.

Amanullah is a good comedian but unfortunately he is just a comedian. Sohail Ahmad is a complete and matchless actor. Aftab Iqbal was behind the idea, approach and writings of Hasb-e-Haal so we hope he will do better this time as well. I think Aftab chosen Nasim Vicky because of his dialogue delivery skill and voice pitch like Azizi. All burdon of show will be over shoulders of Aftab, we know this. He having creative mind and political approach as well. I think Hasb-e-Haal is not at best now after Aftab left the show, just fun of Azizi still rocks but for how long? political strenght is no more in Hasb-e-Haal where repeatation of social issue and comedy just circle the show now and no doubt Sohail still apple of eyes what he deserves as a great actor. Best of luck for Aftab Iqbal.

How would Aman Ullah sound giving mukhbaries? Azizi is an educated and a genius actor. Aman Ullah and Naseem Vicky can not compete with him.

No 1 in the industry can compete Sohail Ahmed..... he is invincible... naseem vicky admit that Sohail ahmed is Ustad. and aman ullah has no such qualities like Sohail ahmed. This new prog of aftab will be good for time pass but he can't make another Hasab-e-haal.
