Moreover, talking about the play Jalkukray, Shabbir said that the play is very much relevant with the contemporary society. The story revolves around three characters, a house and a cemetery.
With a weird backdrop of the concept the play was all about putting an impact over the audience about the weird human nature of jealousy and pride. The three characters are Chand Miyan, Acchey Miyan and a lady Suraiya.
Rafi Shabbir said, “I wrote this play after realizing various factors prevailing in our society. People are jealous of each other, want to grab other’s property and much more. They do not think about the consequences of hereafter and are busy doing wrong. So in a comic manner the play imparts a message to the audience.”
