    ‘Our only star power’: Umer Aalam praises Fahad Mustafa and Humayun Saeed

    Humayun Saeed and Fahad Mustafa are two of the biggest stars in the Pakistani entertainment industry these days.

    Actor and model Umer Aalam made a guest appearance on the ‘FHM podcast’ and shared his thoughts on the current state of stardom in the entertainment industry.

    “The only star power we have right now is with Fawad bhai, Humayun bhai, and these other guys, these are the stars.

    “Only once they step aside can others step up. I mean, we don’t even need to replace them yet because we don’t have anyone ready to take their place,” he said.

    The host, Adnan Faisal, asked, “Who will replace them?” to which Raqs-e- Bismil actor replied, “I’m telling you, it might be someone right in front of you, maybe not now, but time will tell. These people have put a lot of work and time into this industry. In my opinion, no one can easily replace them just like that, but to become a star, you need a huge body of work behind you. You don’t just become a star overnight.”

    Talking about the drama serial Gentlemen, Aalam praised its high production.

    “The work was good, the story is solid, the people are great, and the production is top-notch, but, for some reason, it hasn’t fully clicked yet. Maybe it will once the proper love story starts because, in dramas, it usually picks up after around the eighth or ninth episode. It’s rare for a drama to take off right from the first episode”, he added.

    Currently, Fahad Mustafa is starring in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, while Humayun Saeed has wrapped up his drama Gentlemen, the last episode of which has already aired.

  • Why Nadeem Baig thinks Humayun Saeed can lead in action films

    Why Nadeem Baig thinks Humayun Saeed can lead in action films

    Director Nadeem Baig is known for openly sharing his thoughts about his favourite actors, and Humayun Saeed is definitely one of them.

    Recently, Baig appeared as a guest on Say It All with Iffat Omar, where he discussed how Humayun Saeed compares to Bollywood’s Khans – Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan – in terms of suitability for action roles.

    The host asked, “I heard that you are going to work on an action film with him, should we expect a transformation like Shah Rukh, Aamir, or Salman?”

    Nadeem Baig responded, “I think the disadvantage Shah Rukh and Aamir is their body types. The advantage for Humayun is his personality and physique. If I didn’t know these three people and they were not stars, and they stood in front of me wanting to be cast in my next film, I would physically cast Humayun because he is tall and broad, which suits action characters, much like actors in Hollywood or South Indian films.”

    “Since he was a romantic hero, the trend for romantic leads has faded, and such films have become less accessible for him. So he had to rediscover himself to survive in the action genre. Salman Khan has been the most successful in this transition because his body, face, and eyes suit action roles. I don’t think Aamir Khan suits action, but he does well in drama and other genres. Shah Rukh tries hard to look good in action roles.

    “However, I tell you, if I have the same facilities and budget, and if you see Humayun doing action, he would outshine all of them. I would like him to work out for a year so he can become someone who is physically fit. But he really loves food,” Nadeem Baig added.

    He also talked about how Arsalan Naseer won the Best Actor award, beating Naumaan Ijaz.

    “For instance, in front of Naumaan Ijaz, Arsalan Naseer, who just entered the industry through YouTube, he gets an award for Best Actor. I’m sorry, this surprises me. Actually, such awards don’t exist in Pakistan. There is one award for fashion, and they have to include the film and TV category so that they have good attendance and good faces sitting in the front row. They give five awards each for film and TV. So it’s about the category. You cannot put Sajal Aly and Saba Hamid in the same category, it will be very unfair.”

    Talking about the credibility of the current awards show, he categorically stated:

    “I think the awards that are being given, they hold no value. I’m not saying this lightly, I mean, when something is so public, if you don’t acknowledge it, it diminishes your worth. The awards you give then lose their significance. It’s as if everyone just shows up today and gets one of these social media awards, including Lux, I don’t know what the format is, but when the public is voting, it can be hacked. You can hire 500 people to vote or do something else. At the end of the day, what happens is that you receive a surprise there that leaves you stunned.”

  • ‘Gentleman’ character inspired by Munna Bhai: Humayun Saeed

    ‘Gentleman’ character inspired by Munna Bhai: Humayun Saeed

    ‘Gentleman’ is the latest hit drama starring Humayun Saeed, marking his return to television after four years. In the show, he plays Iqbal Munna, a local from Korangi with an unexpected innocence. Fans can’t help but compare his character to the beloved Munna Bhai from the 2003 Bollywood film ‘Munna Bhai MBBS,’ portrayed by Sanjay Dutt.

    In a recent chat with his co-star Yumna Zaidi, Humayun revealed that his role was like Munna Bhai. He said Khalilur Rehman wrote it that way. Yumna added some mystery, saying, “Maybe,” suggesting surprises in the story.

    The actor also talked about the idea that Ahmad Ali Butt’s character, Dilbar, Munna’s faithful buddy, is like Circuit from Munna Bhai MBBS. He hinted, “Wait for the fifth episode; you’ll get the answer then. You gotta watch it.”

    Yumna assured fans that things would get clearer as the story goes on. She said, “I think it’ll make more sense after the next episode. And as the show goes on, I believe people will stop comparing and noticing these similarities. We’ve already moved past it ourselves.”

    Facing criticism for its portrayal of “gundagardi” in Korangi, Humayun defended the show, saying, “There aren’t real gangsters like we’ve shown in Korangi. It’s all make-believe. We tried to make it as real as possible in this fantasy world. We even thought about setting it in a made-up place, not Korangi. But we went with Korangi, and even then, it’s harmless.”
