10 Dream Pairings We’d Like To See On The Silver Screen!

Film Pairs
The chemistry between lead actors plays a crucial role when it comes to making any television or film venture successful. A project may have a wonderful script and an excellent director, however, if the lead pair does not establish the right in screen connection, the project tends to inevitably fail in leaving a lasting impact on the audience. Likewise, oftentimes an otherwise average serial or movie is elevated due to the actors’ crackling chemistry. The right synchronicity of the leads is essential for that commercial blockbuster which strikes a chord with the audience.
 
The Pakistani entertainment industry has seen many iconic pairings that are still talked about today, be it the golden pairing of Waheed Murad and Shabnam from the hay-day of Lollywood, or the blockbuster pairing of Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan in Humsafar, whose on-screen reunion the fans still desperately wait for. However, with the emergence of so many talented actors and the present-day resurgence of Pakistani cinema, there is a large playing field for the makers to come up with many more interesting and potentially superhit joris.
 
Following is a list of fresh pairings we’d like to see on screen along with the genre we thought would suit them best:

Humayun Saeed and Saba Qamar

Putting the immensely talented Saba Qamar opposite the Box Office King of Pakistan, Humayun Saeed, would make the audience thank the casting directors and producers who had the wonderful idea of bringing them together. But they should not just star in any movie, they need to star in a movie that has a strong script and an experienced director that would do justice to these two linchpins of Pakistan’s showbiz arena. You cannot cast Saba and then give her the usual role of the hero’s romantic interest as it would be a waste of her talent. Humayun should get a role that’s equally challenging so he can show the audience that he is capable of playing dramatic roles as well. Ideally, we would like to see the two in a bio-pic about a real-life hero.

Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat

For her contribution towards Pakistani cinema, Mehwish was awarded with the presidential honor, the much-coveted Tamgha e Imtiaz. That should be enough for people to recognize her talent. On the other hand, Fawad might be absent from our screens for quite some time now, but the audience’s love for him still remains the same. As of today, the release of The Legend of Maula Jutt is up in the air and fans of the actor are clamoring to see him back in action on screen. So pairing him opposite the stunning and talent powerhouse Mehwish would be amazing. And since he has been playing positive characters up till now, it would be interesting to shake things a bit and give him the role of the main antagonist against Mehwish in a courtroom drama or even a crime-flavored thriller.

Ali Zafar and Iqra Aziz

Both Ali and Iqra have proven that they can excel in comedy. Ali started his acting career from the hit sitcom Kollege Jeans whereas in recent years, he has starred in a lot of different Bollywood comedies and even Teefa in Trouble was very tongue in cheek. Iqra, on the other hand, was one of the highlights of the TV show Suno Chanda. Fans were especially surprised by her comedic timing as the bubbly Jia on the show. Iqra still hasn’t made an appearance on the bigger screen but we believe that starring opposite Ali Zafar in a quirky romantic comedy would be the perfect film debut for her.

Bilal Abbas Khan and Mawra Hocane

Unconventional love stories, when done well, have a chance of becoming instant classics. Watching Bilal and Mawra star opposite each other in such a genre would definitely be a treat to watch. Their work on television has already made waves before, however, they haven’t yet been given a script to shine on the silver screen. Also, most of their dramas being serious dramas rather than love stories, we believe an unconventional love story would be the perfect setting for them!

Fahad Mustafa and Mahira Khan

Where Bilal and Mawra’s genre was going to be an unconventional love story where the characters slowly realize they have fallen in love with each other, the genre of Fahad and Mahira’s is going to be a full-fledged love story. Both Fahad and Mahira have starred in multiple films, but unfortunately, they didn’t share screen in either one of them. And after Mahira made an appearance on Fahad’s show Jeeto Pakistan back in May this year, fans loved their chemistry so much that they have been waiting for them to get together for a movie. They even interacted about it on Twitter!

Feroze Khan and Maya Ali

With the commercial success of last year’s Teefa in Trouble and this year’s Parey Hut Love, Maya Ali has established her credentials as a bankable on-screen performer. Feroze too has been a part of the industry for quite some time now, his breakout role being that of Mir Haadi in the blockbuster serial Khaani. He also made his film debut in 2016 with Zindagi Kitni Haseen Hai and is set to star in the upcoming film Tich Button. We would be thrilled at the two being paired in a historical period piece. Imagine Feroze looking ‘oh so handsome’ wearing regal clothes and Maya exhuming grace wearing royal ghararas with heavy jewelry. One can only imagine what would happen when these two appear on the screen together!

Sheheryar Munawar and Hania Amir

Shehreyar and Hania are both young, energetic and talented. Interestingly enough, both the actors have also demonstrated some serious singing abilities- with Hania singing the OST for her drama serial Anaa while Shehreyar lending his voice for the rap portion of Parey Hut Love’s hit song Balma Bhagora. A musical film would thus be perfect for the duo. And with some able-handed music composers to back up their vocal talents, we might have our very own ‘La La Land’ on our hands.

Ahad Raza Mir and Kubra Khan

Ahad has made much impact courtesy his popular television plays, and Kubra has been a part of multiple movies including blockbusters such as Jawani Phir Nahi Aani 2. The good looking also was a part of a film together, Parwaz Hai Junoon, but they weren’t paired opposite each other. Watching them fall for each other in a feel-good adventure film would be something which would be appreciated by fans of both. They also seem to share a great friendship off-screen, so that would translate well on the screen as well.

Imran Ashraf and Sajal Ali

Well, what do we to say about Imran Ashraf that the audiences doesn’t already know? After working tirelessly in the industry for more than 8 years, viewers have finally warmed up to the underrated actor. The same goes for Sajal. The acting prowess she brought to each of her characters solidified her as one of the best acting talents of Pakistan. Thus, an indie social drama, perhaps with little commercial factor and just pure raw talent of the two would be enough to draw in the audiences. It would give them enough room to showcase just how gifted they are.

Sanam Saeed and Zahid Ahmed

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Sanam Saeed and Zahid Ahmed are two of the most versatile actors of Pakistan. For them, the only thing that matters is how challenging their roles are. Based on that, it would be wrong to confine them to run of the mill storylines. Hence, to extract the best out of the best, you would have to put these actors in a genre that they haven’t tried out before. An indie crime thriller would not only excite the actors, but it would indeed be worthy of their talents. While Sanam is a veteran when it comes to doing films, we are sure Zahid wouldn’t disappoint on the big screen either.
