Oct 1(ABC): Hamza Ali Abbasi, one of the most prominent actors of Pakistani entertainment industry, is back to rule the big screen with a starring role in the year’s most-anticipated film, The Legend of Maula Jatt.
After about four years, Abbasi has taken charge to explore his talents by choosing a very different and challenging role as he returns from his acting hiatus with the iconic character of one of the greatest villains of Pakistani cinema, Noori Natt, previously played by legendary actor Mustafa Qureshi.
Abbasi, who yearns to do a variety of different roles, contradictory to his own charismatic personality, is starring alongside Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan in Bilal Lashari’s upcoming magnum opus.
In an exclusive interview with Geo TV, Abbasi spoke of his role in the project that is already being touted as the game-changer and savior of Pakistani cinema while dishing on the challenges he faced in the process of transforming into the barbaric Noori Natt.
“It takes a lot of guts to handle the kind of pressure that comes with such projects but you eventually get the courage to deal with it,” Abbasi said.
