Learned From Lyari’s Girls
Before filming began, Dananeer and the team held workshops with Lyari’s girls. They studied their daily routines, learned their slang, and observed how they play football. As a result, the actors could bring authentic gestures, emotions, and language to their roles. This hands-on approach ensures audiences see the real Lyari, not just a dramatized version.
With strong female leads, football fever, and genuine emotions, Mera Layari promises a fresh perspective on Lyari. Ultimately, the story, locations, and performances combine to deliver a heartfelt film that audiences are sure to connect with.
