Despite having a considerable career in the entertainment industry made mostly out of acting exclusively in films, Bilal Ashraf hadn’t really tasted success as an actor. That is until Superstar happened earlier this year and Bilal finally got to have a film to his name that was both a critical and commercial success. So, when in a recent interview where Bilal claimed that he would be alright if he didn’t do any films after Superstar, that certainly raised a few eyebrows.

Bilal spoke at length about films like Yalghaar and Rangreza, which gave the actor immense physical and mental strain yet did not provide the expected career boost. Quite the opposite, both the films bombed leaving his nascent acting stint in the doldrums. It was with the success of Superstar that Bilal managed to rise from the ashes and get his groove back about working in cinema. And it looks like he is all ready to get started on his next project.

Bilal Ashraf to be seen in a Hassan Zia production?

Hassan Zia, who has produced films like Wrong No., Wrong No. 2 and Mehrunisa V Lub U is all set to launch his next production. This time, he has zeroed in on an action-comedy script which is written by Mohsin Ali. Mohsin has the films Wrong No. and Chuppan Chuppai to his credit.

We reached out to Hassan Zia to get his comment about whether or not Bilal has signed on to the film. Hassan affirmed that the project has been discussed with the Janaan star however, nothing has been finalized as of yet. The film’s final shape will be locked by early next year and once confirmed, the details about the project will be shared officially.

Final word

It will be interesting to see Bilal act in an out and out comedy film with some masala action in it. Bilal is yet to do an action-comedy film, so if this Hassan Zia production does end up happening then he would be venturing into new waters. And maybe he will be able to continue his success streak after Superstar with this move, too.

Stay tuned to Galaxy Lollywood for all the details about this project!
