Munawar Faruqui on The Society
During a press conference, Munawar Faruqui discussed the ongoing divisions around class and status in the real world. Reflecting on his upcoming show, The Society, he shared that it revolves around a similar theme, where one has the freedom to play with one's dignity.
He said, "In 'The Society', there is no argument. It is just a fight to change your place. If your position changes. If you are not a star kid on this show, you can become a star kid. This is just an example. There is no relation between good and bad acting here."
