Affan Waheed and Sumbul Iqbal khan pair up for 'Chalay Aao'

The drama industry today is blooming and many new actors want to be a part of it. With no shortage of talent, sometimes it is hard to make a lasting impression on the audiences with so much to choose from. But one actor whose fan following has not decreased but rather increased by leaps and bounds, owing to his talent, happens to be Affan Waheed. Affan Waheed is one actor who has the ability to get into the skin of each character he plays which makes his roles unforgettable!

We loved him in Illteja and are currently enjoying his performance in Khamoshi but that's not it, we have some great news for all Affan Waheed fans, as the talented actor is busy shooting for a new play called Chalay Aao.

Paired opposite the Aik Thi Rania star Sumbul Iqbal Khan, Affan Waheed is all set to spread his magic in a new drama now. We got in touch with Affan to know more about the play and this is what he shared with us.

"The play is called Chalay Aao and it is being directed by Zulfiqar Haider and it is written by Sabeeka Zulfiqar."

Talking about his character, Affan shared, "I play this guy who hails from a feudal background and he falls in love with his class fellow who belongs to the red light area and from there the story takes unexpected twists and turns as it unfolds."

Sounding different and interesting, the drama besides the duo will also star Abid Ali, Faisal Rehman and Jahanzeb Gurchani to name a few.

With us loving his dramas especially Guzaarish, we asked Affan what else was he working on besides Chalay Aao?

"I try doing one project at a time unless it gets pressing. I am reading a couple of scripts so lets see," said Affan.

Expected to air on A plus, we can't wait to see the pairing of Affan Waheed and Sumbul Iqbal Khan in Chalay Aao soon!

“I want to do something that is out of the box” says Bilal Abbas Khan

“I want to do something that is out of the box” says Bilal Abbas Khan

No one is alien to this name, not anymore, our very own Qasim from O Rangreza. This O Rangreza star started his career with drama serials like Saya e Deewar Bhi Nahin, Dumpukht and Rasm e Duniya. The actor also has a feature film named ‘Thora Jee Le’ to his credits tho it wasn’t that huge a commercial success but we did get a talent house called Bilal Abbas Khan from it so not a complete loss after all.

In a recent interview Bilal gave some insights on not only his current projects but also on his future ventures and here’s all you need to know.

When asked of how his experience was while working with star cast of O Rangreza here’s what the actor said,

“You know, it’s interesting; I heard that people loved Sajal and her work, and when I met her for the first time, I thought she was “just okay.” However, when I starting working with her, I realised that she has a very strong hold on her craft and is very supportive.”

He went on to add,

“She’s a senior to me career-wise and has been working in the industry for eight years so I learn a great deal from her. She and Noman Ijaz actually taught me how to use my eyes while acting. It’s been amazing working with her.”

Talking about the kind of scripts he is looking for now that O Rangreza is such a hit the actor said the following, 

“I have been getting quite a few scripts and I am still going through them. I think I want to do something dark and intense now. I don’t want to play the ‘hero’. I saw the trailer of Padmavati recently and Ranveer Singh’s avatar in it – I absolutely loved it.”

He further added,

 “I want to do something that is out of the box. Maybe a negative character which is something that is very different from my personality. That being said, there is no specific criteria because what I truly want to do is experiment and test my potential as an actor.”

Bilal also mentioned some of the directors he’d like to work with in future,

“My favourite director is Kashif Nisar and I got to work with him in O Rangreza. I’m fortunate enough to be working on his next project as well. I would also love to work with Ehteshamuddin, Farooq Rind and Mehreen Jabbar. Mehreen’s work is phenomenal and has uniqueness to it.”

 

Talking about his current and future ventures the actor gave the following insights,

“I am currently doing a project that is written by Zafar Mairaj, where I am starring alongside Iqra Aziz and Shehzad Sheikh. It’s being directed by Ahmed Bhatti. There are a few other interesting projects lined up but the filming hasn’t begun.”

He also added,

“I like to live in the moment and enjoy what I am doing right now so maybe in the future. Although the one thing that I am sure of is that acting is my full-time job and I would never leave it.”

We wish this rising star all the luck and anxiously await to see him experiment with his craft as he polishes his skills and turns himself into a mega-star.

Deepika Padukone Reacts to Ban on ‘Verna’

Deepika Padukone Reacts to Ban on ‘Verna’

Deepika Padukone’s ‘Padmavati’ has been banned by the censor board in India meanwhile Mahira Khan starrer ‘Verna’ has met the same fate here in Pakistan.

When asked of the Padmavati ban the Baajirao Mastaani starlet had the following to say in her recent interview with Pinkvila,

“It’s amusing actually sometimes when I look at it and I actually look at this as a moment for all of us to be celebrating this woman’s life. To celebrate everything she stood for, to celebrate everything that she believed in, to celebrate Rajput culture and heritage. This is a time for us to celebrate really.”

Speaking of bans when she was asked of her opinion on the ban Mahira Khan starrer ‘Verna’ is facing and how people are so quick to judge films she said,

“Yes, It’s sad that a small section of people don’t understand the power of cinema and what it can do to the world. It brings people together, it spreads love, it’s fascinating what cinema can do and it’s sad that a certain group of people choose to not recognise that.”

Both films are set to release this fall and what becomes of them is yet to be seen.
