Every year a bunch of aspiring men and women try their luck in the showbiz industry. Some succeed, and some don’t live up to the expectations of the entertainment world. While there are numerous promising newcomers each year that manage to make their mark, here’s a list of 15 promising newcomers for this year that will surely shine.
Komail Anam
He’s got the charm of his father Khalid Anam and we believe he has inherited his talent too. Komail Anam is a star kid. You might have seen glimpses of this youngster in HUM TV’s Chamak Dhamak. But his instant connection with the viewers as Wali Muhammad in Sinf-e-Aahan will surely take him places.
Dananeer Mobeen
The overnight sensation ‘Pawri Hori Hai’ girl couldn’t have asked for a better TV project and co-stars to debut with. She made her presence felt strongly with a class act in Sinf-e-Aahan. She has put her best foot forward and held her ground, and we can’t wait to see more of her acting chops.
Momin Saqib
He became a social media sensation with his Maro Mujhe Maro video, but he shook us all with his incredible acting talent as Essa in Raqs-e-Bismil. Standing tall, up to stalwarts like Imran Ashraf and Mehmood Aslam is no mean feat. This promising young talent is surely the rising star of the showbiz industry.
Zaviyar Naumaan Ejaz
He took a lukewarm start with Qissa Meherbano Ka. Blame it on the director or the sloppy script, the drama failed to give a kick start to his career. But he soon played his trump card and turned heads as Hikmat Khan in Sang-e-Mah.
Arsalan Naseer
The YouTube star has an army of crazy fans as his following due to his hilarious comic videos. He received a huge shoutout from the industry with his wholesome performance as Haadi in Chupke Chupke. And it’s not just TV – Arsalan has the charm and personality required to take the big screen by storm.
Aymen Saleem
Her 1000-watt smile and refreshing persona stole hearts when she appeared in her first project, Chupke Chupke. As Mishi, she gave us a performance to chew on. Also, her recent outing Ibne-Hawwa is a testimony that she has the knack for smelling good scripts. Way to go, Aymen!
Khaqan Shahnawaz
You will go on a laughter ride once you follow this video creator on Instagram. The charming boy-next-door touched gold as he plays an important role in Mahira Khan’s Baarwan Khiladi.
Hamza Sohail
Acting runs in his blood. The son of veteran actor Sohail Ahmed couldn’t have had a better debut than the one with Raqeeb Se. The debutant shared screen space with some of the most gigantic stars, but he passed the litmus test with flying colors. Here’s looking at Hamza Sohail for more in the future, especially with Badshah Begum out.
Muhammad Hunbal
At first, we saw him in a brief appearance in Ehd-e-Wafa. Newbie Muhammad Hunbal soon received a lot of appreciation as Sabz Ali in Sang-e-Mah. We’d love to see more of him soon.
Danyal Zafar
He can sing, he can act, and he is charming. Ali Zafar’s younger brother was particularly praised for his performance in Tanaa Banaa. That’s not all. His recent web series Baarwan Khiladi features him as one of the main protagonists. Danyal Zafar is born to shine.
Dur-e-Fishan Saleem
She debuted with a supporting role in Dil Ruba but it was Pardes that let her shine as an actor. The project proved that she isn’t just the girl-next-door but can carry a full-fledged role effortlessly. Watch out for this girl!
Junaid Jamshed Niazi
This model-turned-actor became an overnight sensation and won millions of hearts. Junaid Jamshed Niazi aka Kamil featured in Sinf-e-Aahan as Yumna Zaidi’s fiancé. Fans have been going gaga over their new favorite on-screen jodi.
Shahveer Jafry
There’s hardly anyone who loves comedy and doesn’t know this YouTuber. After making a name for himself as Pakistan’s popular sketch comedy artist, Shahveer Jafry is ready to show off his acting chops in the recently released web series Baarwan Khiladi.
Merub Ali
The influencer-turned-actress raised eyebrows as Gul Khanzada in Sinf-e-Aahan. The young actor impressed with her easy-going style in the ISPR drama directed by Nadeem Baig.
Tamkenat Mansoor
She’s bold enough to perform roles that other female actors may say no to. Her strong performance-based scenes as the blunt maid in Chintoo Ki Mummy and a dancer in short film Gulzar makes Tamkenat Mansoor a performer to look out for.
