Stepping onto a new set can make anyone feel nervous, but the cool and friendly seniors in Duniyapur made it easier for younger actors in the cast.
Recently, Khushal Khan, Ali Raza and Shamyl Khan appeared on Gloss Etc by Maliha Rehman, where they shared their experience working with senior actors.
The host asked the actors about their experience of working with veterans Naumaan Ijaz and Manzar Sehbai.
Khushal Khan said, “They are cool people, they are not like the senior types, they just blend in and make you feel so easy and comfortable. Manzar Sahab. Because throughout the scene, he was just there, giving cues without moving even an inch. He would give cues to every actor, and even when it was a master shot with someone else’s close-up, he would just be there in the background.”
Talking about Naumaan Ijaz.
“Noomi Bhai’s health wasn’t great, but he would travel and shoot in Sargodha. Hats off to him, Manzar Sahab, and Noomi Bhai. Because, I mean, we wouldn’t even consider ourselves in that category we would just be sidelined. We couldn’t complain because there was no heat or anything,” Khushal Khan added.
Ali Raza added a lighthearted note about the makeup process, sharing,
“There’s a requirement for makeup because we need to come on screen, but there’s no makeup in this. It was just a get-up for Ashraf Bhai. I told him that there’s no makeup because we need a raw feel; we don’t want to com e with makeup. Everyone looks good, that’s true, but we didn’t apply makeup. The hair wasn’t done; the jeans and hair were a bit messy.”
The drama is written by Radain Shah and directed by Shahid Shafaat.
The cast of the drama includes Ramsha Khan, Nayyar Eja, Hussain Shah, Yousaf Bashir, Sami Khan, Saima Qureshi, and Erum Akhter.
