Actor Adnan Siddiqui has expressed disappointment over how his character\u2019s storyline unfolded in the drama serial\u00a0Zanjeerain<\/em>, saying his role and that of co-star Usman Javed were gradually sidelined and eventually appeared to disappear from the story.<\/p>\n

Siddiqui, who plays Zafran Khan, discussed his experience on the drama in a recent\u00a0interview<\/a>, suggesting that the editing process significantly reduced the presence of both characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the big cast, locations and acting, there were some issues with the editing. But one of the things that affected me was that I\u2019m not the main character. You could almost say I made a cameo in the drama,\u201d Siddiqui said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done many main roles, and even ones where the storyline was stretched, but I\u2019ve never seen roles just disappear from within the story like this,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

Siddiqui also joked about the treatment of his and Javed\u2019s characters. \u201cMe and Usman both disappeared from the story,\u201d he said with a laugh. \u201cWe were just stepchildren in the drama.\u201d<\/p>\n
