Affan Waheed is one actor whose star profile has risen meteorically over the last year with his breakthrough performance in the super successful Do Bol. With his on-air show Ghalati generating positive response as well, speculations have been rife within industry circles that he would be making that inevitable jump to films, soon. Turns out the Guzaarish star will be making that anticipated leap to the world of megaphones and arc-lights, after all, having signed a film opposite Baaji’s Amna Ilyas.
Speaking from the sets in Islamabad, where the shooting for the project is currently underway, Affan said: “I did not want to sign on to just any film – I wanted to step into films with a worthwhile project, and when (director) Usman Rizvi shared the script with me, it instantly appealed to me and after some initial discussions, I decided to go ahead with it.” The film will be the director’s first feature-length project, having worked on some shorts in the United States previously. When queried about the film’s genre, Affan revealed that the movie, titled Mastani is “a suspense-drama with elements of comedy”, his role being that of a kind-hearted everyman. Production for the film is firmly on schedule and “the team is planning for an Eid-ul-Fitr release, if everything goes according to plan,” according to him.
