Nizaam has made its debut on Green TV, introducing Usama Khan and Momina Iqbal in the lead roles. The new drama also features veteran actor Nauman Ijaz in a pivotal role. The opening episode introduced the main characters and established the tone of the story.
Usama Khan and Momina Iqbal play college students in Nizaam. Their characters are introduced within a college setting, where the two leads share an early moment that establishes their connection.
The casting choice has quickly become a talking point because both actors appear considerably older than typical college students. Momina’s styling in the college scenes has also attracted attention, with viewers noting that her look does not resemble the usual appearance of a student.
Nizaam Episode 1 Gets Attention for College Casting
The first episode shows Usama Khan’s character watching Momina Iqbal as she walks through the college corridor. While the scene introduces their characters, their portrayal as young students has led to discussion about the casting decision.
Usama also appears mature for the role, which has made it difficult for some viewers to see him as a college student. Momina’s styling has added to the discussion, as her outfits appear more formal and dressed up than what viewers expected from a student character.
The reactions have largely focused on the age gap between the actors and the characters they are playing. Some viewers questioned why the production chose mature actors for roles that require them to portray college students.
One viewer commented, “They should be playing teachers.” Another joked, “Is this college for senior citizens.” A third viewer questioned the casting process and asked, “Do they not look at the ages while casting for characters.”
Pakistani dramas
The discussion has brought attention to an issue that Pakistani dramas often face when actors play characters significantly younger than their actual age. Audiences tend to notice such casting choices quickly, especially when the story places the characters in familiar settings such as schools or colleges.
Despite the conversation around the leads’ ages, Nizaam has only just begun. The first episode also introduced Nauman Ijaz’s pivotal character, suggesting that the veteran actor will have an important role in the story as it develops.

Usama Khan and Momina Iqbal are also established names in Pakistani television, and their pairing gives the new drama two familiar faces in its lead roles. As the story moves forward, more details about their characters and their connection are expected to emerge.
Nizaam has therefore started with both a new storyline and an immediate discussion surrounding its casting. The upcoming episodes will show how the characters develop and whether the college setting remains central to the drama.
