Saba Qamar Begins Shooting Case No. 10 — Tabish Hashmi Makes His TV Acting Debut

Saba Qamar has started shooting for Case No. 10, the follow-up to her hit courtroom drama Case No. 9, and the first pictures from the set have already set social media buzzing. The actor shared behind-the-scenes photographs from the production on Instagram, confirming that cameras are now rolling on one of the most awaited Pakistani dramas of the coming season.

“Some very special cases are coming together for Case No. 10,” Qamar wrote alongside the pictures — a caption that told fans everything they needed to know. The photographs show the actor with members of the cast and crew as they rehearse lines, discuss the script and prepare for the shoot, with some images appearing to show the team gathered in a hotel room. Within hours, the post had drawn thousands of reactions from viewers eager to see what the sequel has in store.

The biggest surprise in the new pictures is the man standing beside Saba Qamar: comedian and television host Tabish Hashmi, who is making his television acting debut in Case No. 10. Hashmi is one of Pakistan’s best-known comedy faces, famous for his quick wit and hosting, but he has never acted in a television drama before — which is exactly why his casting has become the most talked-about part of the announcement.

The makers have not yet revealed anything about the character Hashmi will play, and that silence has only added to the curiosity. Fans are asking the same questions: will the comedian play a light-hearted character, or will he surprise everyone with a serious dramatic turn? His on-screen chemistry with Qamar is another unknown, and it is one of the reasons the pairing has drawn so much attention. For now, all that is confirmed is that Hashmi is part of the cast — his role stays under wraps until the makers choose to reveal it.

The team behind the sequel

Case No. 10 brings back the creative team behind Case No. 9. Journalist and Geo News anchor Shahzeb Khanzada, who made his writing debut with the previous drama, is writing the new instalment, while Danish Nawaz will direct the project and Badar Mehmood produces it.

The change in the director’s chair has not gone unnoticed. Case No. 9 was directed by Syed Wajahat Hussain, whose work on the courtroom drama won wide praise, and some fans have already said Nawaz faces a real challenge in matching that standard. Others argue that a fresh director is exactly what a new story needs. Either way, the combination of Khanzada’s writing and a new director gives the sequel its own identity rather than simply repeating the first season.

What Case No. 10 could be about

So far the production team has kept the storyline and the full cast list under wraps, and no release date has been announced. But early reports suggest the new season may revolve around a murder mystery or a high-profile drug case in Pakistan — a darker, more investigative turn than the courtroom battle at the heart of Case No. 9.

That would fit the title. Where the first season followed one woman’s fight for justice through the courts, a murder mystery would let the sequel build its tension around an investigation, with new suspects, new evidence and new twists in every episode. Until the makers confirm the details, though, all of this remains unconfirmed reporting rather than fact — and viewers will have to wait for an official trailer or announcement to know what the “special cases” in Saba Qamar’s caption really are.

Why fans are watching

The excitement around Case No. 10 is easy to understand, because Case No. 9 became one of the most talked-about dramas of its run. Qamar played Sehar Moazzam, a rape survivor who challenged a powerful businessman, in a courtroom story that explored the obstacles survivors face when they seek justice within Pakistan’s legal and social systems. The cast also featured Faysal Quraishi, Aamina Sheikh, Gohar Rasheed and Junaid Khan, and the series concluded in January 2026 after winning praise for its sensitive handling of a difficult subject.

Fan reaction to the new pictures has been a mix of excitement and good humour. Many viewers are already predicting that Case No. 10 could become another major success like its predecessor, while others have joked about the casting — one fan quipped that the makers spent the whole budget on the female lead and cast Hashmi alongside her to balance it out. Beneath the jokes, though, the message is clear: audiences are ready for the sequel. With shooting now under way and a new cast coming together, the wait for Case No. 10 has officially begun.
