When you’re producing a show, there are multiple people who have a say in it. If I don’t think it may work, there are four others who think it would be a hit. We have to make some ten shows annually.

Those ten shows can’t be of the same narrative.” Additionally, Mustafa revealed that he always wanted to be a producer. However, his debut venture as a producer, Iqraar was “awful”.
