According to Dawn Images:
Sanam’s signed on to play Mariam Mukhtar in a homage to the fighter pilot, who was Pakistan’s first female fighter pilot to die in the line of duty. She plays the role in a tele-film titled Aik Thi Mariam directed by Sarmad Khoosat and produced by Urdu 1. Umera Ahmed has written the film.
“Urdu1 along with Mehreen Jabbar directly approached me for the tele-film,” says Sanam to Images. “Although Mehreen Jabbar is not directing it, she owns the project. Also when I came to know Umera has written it, I couldn’t refuse it. It is the role of Marium Mukhtar, a national hero. This project is particularly for myself, my satisfaction as an actor – although it is extremely challenging to live her life and go through the entire process of training but I have to live [the] life of someone incredible.”
