In an exclusive interview with The Current, actor and director Shaz Khan revealed how his role in ‘Parwaz Hai Junoon’ helped him fulfill his childhood dream of joining the army.
When we asked if he ever wanted to join the army, Shaz Khan replied, “I had a dream when I was a kid. But as I got older, I think my dream came true when I did ‘Parwaz hai Junoon’.”
Although he didn’t end up in the military like his grandparents and uncle, his journey as an actor brought him close to that dream.
But Shaz’s ambition doesn’t stop there. His upcoming film, ‘The Martial Artist’, where he serves as the actor, director, producer, and writer, is another testament to his drive and creativity. When asked how does he manage everything,
Khan replied, “It’s a difficult job. But I had to do it because we were shooting in the state of Pakistan, so I needed a vision, and the vision came about ten years ago. So, I had to do it because of COVID and other obstacles. Next time, I don’t think I’ll be able to do all of this.”
Shaz also discussed his intensive training for the film, saying, “I took four years of training. Because in the movie, we’re showing fight scenes like modern Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), just like it’s shown in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), the big promotions.”
