There is no doubt that Pakistani drama industry comprises of unparalleled talent that has proven itself time and again. From taking on daring roles to winning us over with their acting skills, Pakistani actors have done it all.

Many of our actors have played challenging roles on television that have not only garnered appreciation from Pakistanis themselves but have also received admiration and love from abroad. However, with the exponential growth of the film industry recently, we hope to see the same actors showing their immense talent on the silver screen as well.

We present you a list of five television actors whom we wish to see on the big screen:

Iqra Aziz

Iqra Aziz is one of those actresses that came and conquered the television screen and made a name for herself as the leading actress of the country within a short span of time. From playing the hot-headed, hardworking girl in Suno Chanda, to the resilient girl who stands tall when any adversity hits her in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi-the actress has done it all. Moreover, she has also won our hearts with her performances as a negative lead in dramas Khamoshi and Jhooti.

We can picture the actress leaving her mark on the silver screen as well, whenever she chooses to make her debut.

Sarah Khan

Sarah Khan’s trajectory in the drama industry is nothing but diverse and inspiring. From her debut in Badi Aapa as Sharmeen to her latest performance in Wabaal as Anum she has proved her mantle as an actress repeatedly.

Over the years the actress has opted to choose diverse scripts and challenging roles. Case in point, her performance in Sabaat as Miraal was staggering. The character she played was an egoistic and arrogant woman, hailing from an elite background, who wanted everything under her control. Then, we have seen her in roles like Maha in Hum Tum where she is playing a psychology student and a fitness freak, always getting herself in trouble along with her sisters.

Rest assured, Sarah can easily pull off any role that she decides to take on for her first feature film.

Ayeza Khan

Ayeza Khan is the epitome of grace and beauty. She has given many hits over several years due to her right choice of scripts and her acting skills that put life into her roles. On of our favourite roles of the actress is as Farah Ibrahim in Pyarey Afzal where she worked alongside Hamza Ali Abbasi who played Afzal. She aced her role as the girl next door and managed to teleport the audience to the world of Farah and Afzal and their incomplete and hard-hitting love story.

Another notable role she has played is of Mehwish in the drama Meray Paas Tum Ho in which she essayed the role of a selfish and covetous woman who leaves her husband and child for a wealthy man. Ayeza triumphantly was able to exhibit the complex emotions that the role demanded from her.

We are sure that the actress will be able to translate her experience and expertise from the dramas to films eloquently.

Dur-e-Fishan Saleem

She is smart, charming, witty, and knows how to leave her mark. Dur-e-Fishan has a strong screen presence and manages to sway the audience with any role that she decides to take on. The actress made her debut back in 2020 in the drama serial Dil Ruba as Erum and from there she was unstoppable.

Following that the actress appeared in dramas including Bharaas, Pardes, and Juda Huway Kuch Is Tarah. Her most notable performance was in her recent drama Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi where she played the character of Mehak. She also appeared in the recently concluded mini-series Jurm.

The actress can indeed pull off a role in a film and we are hoping to see soon in one.

Sanam Jung

She is an engaging host and a convincing actor who has played multi-faceted characters over the years. Sanam made her debut in drama Dil e Muztar which was well received by the audience. Sanam also ended up receiving the ‘HUM Award for Best Television Sensation Female’.

Recently, the actress is playing the role of Mona in the drama Pyari Mona where she is playing a substantial role of an over-weight woman who is traversing through life and is successfully redefining herself, refusing to let anything or anyone put her down.

Assuredly seeing Sanam in a film will be a treat for her fans where she can take on meaningful roles that leave an impact on the audience.

Haroon Kadwani

The new addition to the entertainment industry, Haroon Kadwani has given repeated hits and has been able to establish himself as an actor in a short period of time. He stepped into the entertainment industry with a telefilm Humari Tumhari. He bagged roles in popular dramas Izn-e-Rukhsat and Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai.

The actor made his lead debut in the telefilm Hamari Tumhari. His telefilm Ruposh was able to garner decent views. Currently he is playing the lead in the drama Jhoom alongside Zara Noor Abbas.

With his foreign education in acting alongside his experience, we are sure that the actor will impress his audience with his film debut as well.

Hamza Sohail

Hamza Sohail rose to his popularity after his role in Fairy Tale as Farjad. His character which was portrayed as a punctual, stubborn yet kind-hearted man was lauded by the audience. He has also appeared in other dramas including Raqeeb Se and Badshah Begum. His role in both the dramas was well received by the fans and critics alike.

Following that, Hamza has been able to win a huge fan base who hope to see him in future projects very soon. Hamza is indeed a promising star of our industry and his skill will be well utilized in a film.
