02:10Please tell us today's episode in the comments section.
02:14I hope you will be happy with every week and every episode of people's hearts in their hearts.
02:21You can complain about the bank.
02:25If I tell you, it's fraud.
02:28For fraud?
02:29If someone says something to my Abba Ji, I'll be in jail.
02:32My history is!
02:34If someone says something to you, then listen to him and stand up.
02:38Abba Ji's love doesn't mean anything else.
02:41You are out of jail, Abba Ji!
02:45Allah Baag, the children have a goodwill.
02:48You can complain in court.
02:51He is so weak and I don't know how bad he is in this person.
02:58God bless you, God bless you.
03:08It's a story of houses, it's a story of romance.
03:10It's very relatable, people love it.
03:12And of course, backed by some very very strong performances.
03:16Top of the list, Numan Ijaas.
03:18I always want to make my heart for them.
03:22I am so proud that they have made this victory.
03:26But with them, all the other actors, Hiramani, Afan, Harim,
03:31they are all doing such a fantastic job.
03:33And again, I want to give a shout-out to Aysan Talish as well.
03:36Sarah Sadehinshah, whose story is very important and interesting way
03:41that this story is unraveled.
03:43I'm saying this story is important.
03:45These stories are our own experience.
03:48These stories are our own experience.
03:49They don't see us on television.
03:51And when they are watching,
03:53the treatment and execution is like this.
03:55It's often in the territory.
03:57Over exaggerated, over the top.
03:59In the sense of the truth,
04:01the treatment and the execution of the story is very realistic.
04:05And I think that is one reason why all of you are also really enjoying it.
04:09How much will you get to see in the future?
04:11What will your prediction?
04:12What will your prediction be?
04:13How will you get to meet the cast members?
04:15We must tell you in the comments section.
04:17I'm not a mentor.
04:18I'm not a mentor.
04:19It's been a last time.
04:20In the past, you have seen the last two episodes.
04:23I've seen the last two episodes.
04:24The mode of the past.
04:25If you were to expect it or not,
04:28I'm not a mentor.
04:30I'm not a mentor.
04:31In this moment,
04:32I'm not doing it that way.
04:33Because in the past.
04:34I'm not a mentor.
04:35I'm not a mentor.
04:36I'm not a mentor.
04:37I'm a mentor.
04:39I'm not a mentor.
04:40It's done.
04:41And now,
04:42I'm going to replace you.
04:44But,
04:46I'm going to replace your mentor.
04:48Today,
04:50I will have seen the next episode.
04:52This is my hometown.
04:53It's a overwhelming drama.
04:55It's an anticipated drama.
04:56Hello.
04:58It's not going to be our parent.
04:59It's not my introduction. My name is Kamiyaar.
05:01You don't know me, but...
05:03I don't need to know anything.
05:05You're not crazy. Who are you?
05:07I've told you, my name is Kamiyaar.
05:09You had a mis-understanding. You are big.
05:11I don't want to forgive you.
05:13Give it to me.
05:14I won't forgive you. I'll give you a case.
05:17I'm angry with him. I'm angry with you.
05:20I'm sorry.
05:24I don't want to see anyone else.
05:27I'm sorry.
05:29You're my life.
05:31You're my life.
05:33You're my life.
05:35You're my life.
05:37You're my life.
05:39Bilal Abbas Khan and Haniya Amir are the first time on screen.
05:43There are many people in this drama.
05:47Bilal Abbas Khan, which we've seen in the teaser,
05:51built an intrigue.
05:53His character's character.
05:54Bilal and Haniya's chemistry.
05:56There are many fans excited.
05:58First of all, they will see them on screen.
06:00I have a lot of excitement.
06:02I can't wait to watch it.

06:40I'll tell you in the comments section.
06:42I'll tell you in the comments section.
06:44This is a breakthrough star.
06:46There are many questions I'm going to ask for.
06:48I was waiting for this interview.
06:50And finally, his phone is coming.
06:52Just come on.
06:53Azan Sami Khan.
06:54Wow!
06:56You should be a drum roll.
06:57You should be a girl.
06:58You should be a girl.
06:59I'll tell you in the comments section.
07:01Peace be upon you.
07:02Peace be upon you.
07:03Peace be upon you.
07:04So good to have you on my show, Azan.
07:05Thank you so much.
07:06So good to have you on my show.
07:07Please have a seat.
07:08How did you allow this to happen?
07:10What do you mean?
07:11I'm the one who called you.
07:12Guys,
07:13someone from my childhood,
07:15when I was working,
07:16and when I opened my eyes,
07:18I thought that Hasan will interview me.
07:20And he refused.
07:22And I was disappointed again and again.
07:24When I came to the point,
07:25that the PR people said,
07:26I want to do an interview.
07:27I said,
07:28I wish I could do Hasan one day.
07:29And I was disappointed again and again.
07:31Do you think that you thought of me?
07:33No, I'm coming to that.
07:34And then I would be like,
07:35why?
07:36What's the difference in me?
07:37Okay.
07:38I don't think I'm a good actor.
07:39I'm a good musician.
07:40I'm a good musician.
07:41Then I realized that the game is something else.
07:44What game is?
07:45It's a creation issue.
07:47Who's?
07:48I'm not a girl.
07:50Then I was like,
07:51okay, okay.
07:52Let's go.
07:53Next time,
07:54you know.
07:55You are so proud.
07:56Please.
07:57Please.
07:58Please.
07:59You have never given this opportunity
08:01to give you the opportunity to interview you.
08:03In the history,
08:04I'm the one who called you.
08:05That is true.
08:06That is true.
08:07Azaan, please come to my show.
08:08I'm very grateful.
08:09Because Azaan said,
08:10you didn't have dates.
08:12That is not true.
08:13That is true.
08:14I said, Azaan,
08:15you don't have dates.
08:16Please give us a date.
08:17But thank you.
08:18But thank you.
08:19I was on the land.
08:20You were on the land.
08:21It was on the land.
08:22It was on the land.
08:23Happy birthday to Zeba Ji.
08:24Thank you so much.
08:25Such an icon, such a legend.
08:26There are so many prayers for them.
08:28And thank you for coming to my show.
08:31Sir, congratulations firstly.
08:34Congratulations to you.
08:35Big success.
08:37Thank you so much.
08:38Many people have liked it.
08:39Some of them have been free.
08:41But the bottom line is
08:43that Azaan Sami Khan has emerged
08:45as the breakthrough performer
08:47of I am not a man.
08:49Thank you so much.
08:50This feeling has sunk in.
08:51I am very grateful.
08:52I think honestly,
08:53I have like these,
08:54they say that pinch me moments.
08:56When I see these posters,
08:57I am just like,
08:58I am just like,
08:59I am like,
09:00I can't take any credit for it.
09:03Because,
09:04I think,
09:05every actor or artist
09:06dreams of a few phone calls.
09:08At least in our industry.
09:09We all dream of certain phone calls.
09:11The top of the list will be Biksa.
09:13One or two other people.
09:15And then,
09:16the honour to be opposite Ahumai bhai.
09:19To work with Asayma ji.
09:21Bawarali sahb, your father.
09:22Now twice in a row.
09:23So that's a big honour for me.
09:25Um,
09:26uh,
09:27Sejal,
09:28uh,
09:29Kya Ketan Sabaappa,
09:30Asif sahb,
09:31everybody,
09:32you know,
09:33then all the younger guys as well.
09:34You know,
09:35I made,
09:36the fun was,
09:37I was able to make new friends on the set.
09:38Whether it's Nameer or Durab,
09:40all of them.
09:41So,
09:42sinking in it would be,
09:44you know,
09:45I am just very grateful.
09:46Honestly.
09:47I have so much love with this work.
09:49I mean,
09:50when I'm here to the studio,
09:51I was like,
09:52I was like,
09:53this road from my childhood.
09:55Maybe,
09:56after my mother.
09:57You know,
09:58this is,
09:59it feels so at home to me.
10:00Uh,
10:01these corridors and things.
10:02So to be here,
10:03as part of a project,
10:05is very,
10:06um,
10:07very special.
10:08AADAKAR Toh Thahi obviously,
10:09Jo Hameh,
10:10I took a look in Faraad,
10:12The looks of the vision and the look at it.
10:13What The difference,
10:14Is that that ...
10:15Is that what changed?
10:17What was it?
10:18What was it?
10:19I know that,
10:20That the person,
10:21That he had not come above it,
10:22and his children,
10:23he came into that,
10:24and now he came into it,
10:26and he came into it.
10:27Firstly,
10:28thank you for saying that!
10:29Honestly!
10:30I think,
10:31practice in any arts
10:32helps you improve.
10:33Um,
10:35I think,
10:36I was in very safe hands here.
10:37I was among a very, very, very, you know, masterful director, DOP, you know, they were all top of their field people.
10:47So, in them, I was able to, I think, be a bit freer.
10:52Because maybe people think that Azan comes from a certain household.
10:57But Azan also knows he comes from a certain household.
11:00So, it's not that I am oblivious that I don't think that I am a legacy behind.
11:05Repetism word is for you.
11:07Absolutely.
11:08Yes, absolutely.
11:09So, I am saying that I don't know about it.
11:11I have an idea.
11:12And because I have an idea, I will take it seriously.
11:14So, the pressure, when you are in an environment that feels very safe, you are able to put it aside.
11:20And say, that people will see these things.
11:22It's better than me.
11:23I just focus on my work.
11:25As Farhad, as a negative character, the way that you've excelled.
11:29There is a streak in some of the actors that one character is a better way.
11:35As opposed to another kind of characters.
11:37Because maybe the emotion is better.
11:39One kind of emotion is more expressed.
11:41Do you think that he was a negative character?
11:44That's why this is another way.
11:46What happened?
11:47Okay, I never thought of him as negative.
11:50Okay.
11:51That was, I think, my first brief from Big Sub.
11:53Was that he is not a villain.
11:55You have not thought that he is a villain.
11:56So, I was very difficult.
11:57Because in the first meeting, when I called him, he was a villain character.
12:00I remember all the villains in my life.
12:01You know, all of them.
12:03From Sholei and everything.
12:05Like, okay, a villain is a villain.
12:07He is a villain.
12:08He is a villain.
12:09He is a villain.
12:10He is a villain.
12:11He is a villain.
12:12He is a villain.
12:13I was like, okay.
12:14And then, he was right in the sense that.
12:17He doesn't feel a villain.
12:19Especially Farhad.
12:21He is a villain in his mind.
12:23If you grow up with morals.
12:25You are not a villain.
12:27If you feel that everything is fair in love and war.
12:30And literally, if everything is fair.
12:32Then, you are not a villain in your mind.
12:34So, for me, he wasn't a villain.
12:36I never thought of him as a villain.
12:37I still continue to realize that he.
12:39Azaan probably thinks he is a villain.
12:41Farhad doesn't think he is a villain.
12:43Farhad, obviously.
12:44So, when I was in my head.
12:46I am not trying to become pseudo.
12:48But, when I was in my method, you know.
12:51He was a lover.
12:53So, Big Sub was discussed with this scene.
12:55I will do this expression.
12:56He is the most chilled out guy.
12:58Yeah.
12:59Like, unbelievably chilled out.
13:00In the sense that.
13:01You know.
13:02I am very prepared.
13:03That this is a scene.
13:04Sir.
13:05I mean, what do I do in this scene?
13:06Go and sit there.
13:07Okay.
13:08Then, I will say.
13:09Yes.
13:10Yes.
13:11Yes.
13:12Yes.
13:13Yes.
13:14Yes.
13:15Okay.
13:16Cut.
13:17Done.
13:18What do you mean?
13:19Yes.
13:20The most important scene.
13:21Like, my first scene of the drama.
13:23Was when I go to Manto's house to shoot him.
13:25Okay.
13:26That is the first scene I shot.
13:28Of the whole play.
13:30I can't explain.
13:32That shot is, I am out of the car.
13:34And then, Manto gets shot.
13:35And then, Manto gets shot.
13:36In this case, people have thought that...
13:37...that he had to kill the evidence...
13:38...but he left two witnesses.
13:40Yes.
13:41That was the first day.
13:43That was the first time I got out of the car.
13:45Before I got out of the car, I got out of the car.
13:47Okay.
13:48Was there so much anxiety?
13:49Of course.
13:50The first day.
13:51We were in December, I think, 14th or 15th.
13:53December.
13:55And it's very cold in Bahriya town.
13:58We were shooting.
13:59And we are in front of you.
14:01Sanam Ji.
14:02Dekh Sahib.
14:04Suleiman Razakh Sahib.
14:05The whole team.
14:06And I have to do all of this stuff.
14:09My first day.
14:10Come out and shoot, Amayu Sahib.
14:11Yes.
14:12I thought I will faint.
14:13And I remember, I even teased Bhiksa about this.
14:15Because on that day.
14:16Before I got out of the car.
14:17I thought, I'll get water.
14:18I don't need anything.
14:19Let's go.
14:21I hope I can make it there.
14:22I was very nervous.
14:23And I think that's a good thing.
14:25Some people have said that...
14:27...Farhad and Mehmal have a good chemistry.
14:30You have seen the comments.
14:32What is your reaction?
14:37I think...
14:38Maybe Sajal and I have worked together before.
14:42Yeah.
14:43So there is that memory from that project.
14:45Secondly, I think...
14:47Because Mehmal's character is also a very fiery character.
14:50And Farhad's character is also fiery.
14:52So when they come together...
14:53That's a natural...
14:54That's a lot of...
14:55That's a lot of sense.
14:56If you look at this drama...
14:57I think that we'll meet each other in four scenes.
15:00That's right.
15:01But they were all very...
15:02...heightened scenes.
15:03Also...
15:04Whoever has said that...
15:05...Hummeh Farhad...
15:06...Pasand aya.
15:07I always say that...
15:08...He was like that.
15:09That's why he was like that.
15:10That's why he was like that.
15:11That's why credit has to go to the...
15:13...Material as well as the direction.
15:15That...
15:16If he wasn't written as this character...
15:17...who came...
15:18...you know...
15:19...Handi...
15:20...Hila deata hai Booli.
15:21Then it may not have been.
15:23Mento نہیں...
15:24...Hummeh hu...
15:25...ki...
15:26...joh journey...
15:27...Rahi...

16:22So I didn't know that. I was shocked that I played the character in the end of the game.
16:30It's a mess, it's a matter of fact.
16:32Everyone is shocked. When I go to any script meeting, I say that I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
16:36I said, no, why will I die?
16:38So when I thought this was the end of the game, I would say that I'm fine.
16:43So I said that I'm fine.
16:45I have to do this.
16:47When Farhad died in the last episode, what was your feedback on the fans?
16:52He said he didn't die.
16:53I'll tell you, interestingly, I was with my kids.
16:56They started to make reels.
16:58They were very upset.
17:00I didn't think about it. They saw the shots and they started crying.
17:05No, Baba, you can't do things in which you die.
17:08So I'm like, no, they didn't happen.
17:10They were very upset.
17:11So my first reaction was that.
17:13As anybody, I'm watching the reels and sharing them.
17:16And all of that.
17:17And they were upset. So that was the first reaction.
17:19This was a very interesting moment for you.
17:22I think that you were only reading it.
17:24I don't think that this time you were reading it.
17:26And you were reading it and reading it and reading it.
17:30So how are you feeling?
17:31Were you happy about all the praise that you were getting?
17:34And also kind of like,
17:36You were like, okay, that's what I'm reading it.
17:38I'm reading it.
17:40I'm going to sound very diplomatic here.
17:43But I'm not being diplomatic.
17:44It's a team game.
17:46So I can't be just happy for myself.
17:49As many people involved in the project,
17:51they are all very close to my heart.
17:53And fortunately on fortunately,
17:55when I worked with them,
17:56they are all close to my heart.
17:57So if something comes to them,
17:59I feel like it.
18:00So I can't be happy.
18:01Of course, I'm grateful that my work is good.
18:03Or my character likes it.
18:05But if the ship is getting damaged,
18:08I will not jump and say,
18:09It's okay.
18:10I'm happy on my raft.
18:11I'm grateful.
18:12But I'm a team player.
18:14Khawattino's Raat,
18:15Azaan is now on our side.
18:16Don't go anywhere.
18:17After a very short break.
18:20Welcome back Khawattino's Raat.
18:21Azaan is on our side.
18:23Tell me.
18:24We've also talked about this.
18:26And other people talk about it.
18:28Azaan Samii Khan is very privileged.
18:31What are the challenges in the life of Azaan Samii Khan?
18:35As far as work is concerned.
18:37What is it?
18:38I want to go.
18:39I want to victimize.
18:40Azaan Samii Khan.
18:42As an actor.
18:44Does Azaan Samii Khan struggle at all?
18:46To find work.
18:48To find opportunities.
18:49To find scripts.
18:50Because the popular perception is that
18:53Azaan is presented in a song.
18:55All scripts are presented in a song.
18:58Azaan is presented in a song.
18:59Azaan tells you that these are 10 scripts.
19:00Which one would choose?
19:01I'll do this.
19:02Then Azaan says,
19:03I'll do this.
19:05What is this?
19:06What is this?
19:07What is this scene?
19:08I've never gotten a script as a first choice.
19:10Okay.
19:11I've given scripts that I've maybe conceptualized
19:13and that too they wanted someone else to play.
19:15Really?
19:16I will never victimize myself because
19:18the advantages
19:20Alhamdulillah someone in my position
19:22born in certain households has
19:24that
19:25I can never victimize myself.
19:28I'll be the most grateful for the world
19:30if I do this.
19:31But
19:32my struggles are different.
19:34Or will it?
19:35My physicality is a lot.
19:38It's a lot of struggle.
19:39It's a lot of work.
19:41But anybody who's gone through it
19:42realizes what it is.
19:43The flip side of it is that
19:48if I felt
19:50the pressure
19:52the makers felt 10 times more pressure
19:54because they feel like their money.
19:56You've also heard that Azaan makes money
19:58and makes money.
19:59I've also heard that.
20:00I've heard that.
20:01I don't make money.
20:02My mother is a big director.
20:04Okay.
20:05So the point is that
20:07I was never a first choice
20:10for most of my projects.
20:12I was maybe the 4th choice
20:14or 5th choice.
20:15And because it's a business
20:16if someone's dates weren't aligned
20:18so if someone had a new project
20:19then they had to go to shoot
20:21at the time.
20:22So you have to take Azaan?
20:24Now
20:25I don't mind saying that
20:26because I think
20:27it's the best
20:28but
20:29I think maybe now I've started getting
20:31that
20:32the first
20:33one, two, three names
20:35Were you the first choice for Farhad?
20:36No.
20:37Farhad, you weren't the first choice?
20:38No.
20:39No.
20:40Saying that for a fact?
20:41For a fact.
20:42I promise.
20:43You can call up our friend
20:44and ask him.
20:45I wasn't.
20:46I know the people who were the first choice.
20:48But that's what I'm saying.
20:49What number choice were you for Farhad?
20:51I think probably 4th or 5th.
20:524th or 5th?
20:534th or 5th.
20:55Because I for a fact know 2 people.
20:59They had to convince them.
21:00Yes.
21:01It wasn't.
21:02Yes.
21:03Do you bother this thought?
21:04No.
21:05No.
21:06No.
21:07No.
21:08No.
21:09No.
21:10No.
21:11No.
21:12No.
21:13No.
21:14No.
21:15No.
21:16No.
21:17No.
21:18No.
21:19No.
21:20No.
21:21No.
21:22No.
21:23No.
21:24No.
21:26No.
21:27No.
21:28No.
21:29I瞳 ===
21:30No.
21:31The South trimmer you were the 4th choice.
21:32It wasn't destined for you.
21:33It wasn't conceptualized for you.
21:34No.
21:35It was someone else's concept who was an actor to play in it.
21:37So, that's what I'm saying. It's eventually a business.
21:42And you said that your own concept that you pitched in that time, they also said that you did with someone else.
21:46Yes, they did. Not once, but quite a few times.
21:50As a composer, as a composer, as a musician, I think that you've really nailed it.
21:59You've got a very very good reputation as a musician.
22:01Thank you, sir.
22:02It's also in that time.
22:03In the beginning, what does it feel like?
22:04Sir, my first film that came out was Parvaz.
22:10In Parvaz, initially, I was signed for one song.
22:13There were six songs in the film, I was signed for one song.
22:16I was required to keep tabs on the rest of the songs on the status of the song.
22:20The others who are making, they will not make it.
22:22So, I always make it two songs.
22:24Then I send one song, it was approved.
22:25I said, by the way, if it's not ready, I've also made one song, just listen.
22:28And it was one-one, five songs.
22:30It wasn't that, I said, sign him on for five songs.
22:34For the film?
22:35No.
22:36Why is this perception then?
22:37I don't know.
22:38What do I do?
22:39I want to know, why is this perception?
22:41It is, I don't know.
22:43Which is why I don't fight it.
22:44I don't fight it.
22:46Even now, maybe you're not believing me.
22:48But it's…
22:48No, I believe you.
22:50The thing is, I believe you.
22:52But I don't understand why there is such a perception.
22:55That there is a lot of heavy duty.
22:58Like you said, you put money on your own.
23:01I've heard it myself.
23:03See, I cannot complain, it's fine.
23:05It's a good reputation to have.
23:06That's what people are thinking.
23:08But you produced it, you produced it.
23:10My mother did it.
23:11I came back to college and they said,
23:13go and work and learn something.
23:15I think I saw the other day,
23:16Dhanesh Nawaz has said in an interview
23:18that every actor should be ADD.
23:21I have done it, I have done it.
23:22So, because of that, I think he is absolutely right.
23:26It is a very important thing.
23:29It helps me every day.
23:30You have been ADD, your mother has produced a film.
23:34So, let's go.
23:35Again, there is a lot of experience in these things.
23:39And many of us are producing drama.
23:41You have never thought that I would produce it.
23:44I'd love to at some point.
23:46What's the reason for this?
23:47It's easy.
23:48If you will produce it yourself,
23:49you will cast yourself.
23:52Probably, someone will say something.
23:55The director will say,
23:57I don't know.
23:59No, the thing is that,
24:00I'd love to at some point,
24:01but I think I have a long way.
24:04I have to learn a lot as an actor.
24:05I have to do a lot of work.
24:07So, I think
24:09there are some things in the music.
24:11When you are giving different expressions on the screen,
24:15what do you think
24:16that you want to do in this way?
24:19I am a very,
24:20I am going to say something that is a very uncool thing.
24:23I don't know if people have different ambitions,
24:25but I am a very commercial type.
24:27I like characters
24:29who resonate with the larger audience.
24:31So, I am not just playing this.
24:35I feel like we haven't found our Mr. Bean yet.
24:43So, if you think about it,
24:44we haven't.
24:45Yeah.
24:46In that sense,
24:47you know,
24:47that I want to see children.
24:51I am a big fan of Dwayne Johnson.
24:53Now, he is like, kids love him.
24:55So, for me, it's all those kind of things.
24:56It's like,
24:57how to reach that larger audience?
24:59How to deeply connect with them?
25:00Because right now, I feel that some guys are doing it
25:02in a great way.
25:04But I just think that it's an open place.
25:06I mean,
25:08I am not,
25:08I am not as an actor as an artistically.
25:11Like, you know.
25:12Like, you know.
25:13You are never the first choice.
25:17You are probably the fourth or fifth choice.
25:19So, the first choice that are the actors,
25:22they often say that in our industry,
25:25there are such stories,
25:27such stories, such stories,
25:27that we are very excited.
25:30So,
25:31if you are on the fourth or fifth,
25:32on the ladder of that step,
25:36you will feel more restricted and restrained.
25:39That was still a certain point.
25:41As I said,
25:42you said,
25:42what was the change?
25:44The change was mainly that I knew what I was thinking.
25:47Because I have,
25:49my relationships which has been built by the director,
25:51whereas the composer has been built a long time ago.
25:53So, it's not like I didn't know what is happening,
25:55what is happening in the pipeline,
25:56what are the concepts.
25:58Suddenly, now,
25:59Alhamdulillah,
26:01they felt that we have to do it with a good time.
26:05The day we think he is
26:07ready to do it or
26:08viable to do it or whatever.
26:09Ready for a profitable venture.
26:11Exactly.
26:12So, that discussions now
26:14have started happening.
26:15So, that may be a lateral change.
26:17I am saying that as an actor,
26:19do you feel restricted with the kind of
26:22characters that are generally written in our industry?
26:24In our dramas, there are 3-4 shades of hero.
26:28There are a lot of
26:29off-beat projects in a year or two years.
26:33But other than that,
26:34the way the boys are in our dramas,
26:36heroes,
26:36murder,
26:37first lead, second lead, villain,
26:39they are perhaps similar.
26:41I don't look at it in a bad way in the sense
26:43that I do think that this is a drama industry,
26:45particularly,
26:46a very
26:48machine.
26:49You have to go to someone's house every night
26:52and they have to come home from the work
26:54and they have to watch the family.
26:56It could be me,
26:57it could be you,
26:57it could be anybody.
26:58Very replaceable.
26:59Like it's a, you know,
27:00frankly speaking,
27:01it is a very replaceable medium for the actors.
27:04If you are not,
27:04if you are being difficult,
27:05somebody will take your place the next day.
27:07Inshallah,
27:08they will do a good job
27:08and the projects are not made
27:10because the machine has to continue
27:12or the show must go on.
27:13Obviously,
27:14those things are also like to do.
27:16I do think that bankability
27:18for any actor allows
27:20risk to be a little safer.
27:23I can name a few projects.
27:24If there is no actor in them,
27:26then the project will not work
27:28which was off-beat.
27:29His bankability allowed risk-taking
27:32and then that project worked.
27:33So you know,
27:35I was saying that for me,
27:37being successful is important
27:38and that is why it is
27:40that you can do more work.
27:41And then that is viable.
27:43Like, I don't think
27:44another actor could bankroll
27:45Manto,
27:46I am not Manto,
27:46it will be a few days.
27:48Who approves this subject?
27:52I don't know.
27:52That's why he did it.
27:54No, no, no.
27:55And I remember
27:56when he was shooting
27:57and we all knew
27:57that there is a risk attached to it.
27:59But his,
28:00mashallah,
28:01position allowed him
28:02to take that risk at that level.
28:04And we see many examples of this
28:05if we look outside from Pakistan.
28:06So I think there is a restriction
28:10because actors can take that risk.
28:15I think it's a bit of a
28:17younger, newer actors
28:19who are not bankable,
28:20put it in a safer mold.
28:21That, you know,
28:23okay, this is a formula
28:24and it will go out.
28:25How are you watching your future?
28:27And the future of the industry?
28:29I don't know
28:29what I'm going to eat at night
28:30but I'm...
28:32You are working on working
28:34right now
28:34or you have many scripts
28:36or many scripts?
28:37Yeah.
28:39There are some discussions
28:40that are going on.
28:41I don't do that
28:42but there are some people
28:43who...
28:44some...
28:45some...
28:46some...
28:46some...
28:47some...
28:48some...
28:48some...
28:48some...
28:49some...
28:50some...
28:51I'll tell you that
28:53when you come
28:53I'll review a lot of things
28:55that will happen.
28:56I'll tell you that.
28:57You will not be bored.
29:00There will be lots of hosts
29:01that will be positive.
29:02I'll tell you that.
29:03I'll tell you that.
29:04I've heard some film
29:05too.
29:08Which episode of your show?
29:09Yeah.
29:10Which episode?
29:11Which episode?
29:11Which episode of the number?
29:13How many?
29:14I think 21st.
29:16So what?
29:16What's up?
29:20I'll tell you that.
29:22You'll get it the first.
29:23This is the deal.
29:24You'll break it.
29:25You'll come, right?
29:27You'll come.
29:27Why did you say that?
29:28You and your co-star will come.
29:31Let me tell you the co-star.
29:33I'll tell you this.
29:34This will be interesting.
29:34Let me reveal.
29:35Let me start.
29:36Let me start.
29:37That's it.
29:38That's it.
29:40But no.
29:41I'm curious.
29:42How are you looking at the future of industry?
29:44How are you looking at the future of dramas?
29:45How are you looking at the future of films?
29:48Again, I'm asking this because again, you're somebody who understands the business.
29:54I think it's a very big future.
29:56I'm generally a very optimistic person.
29:58I think the future is very bright.
30:01I think Pakistan is on the verge of a breakthrough globally.
30:06Because when we go out to awards shows, we interact with foreign diaspora, you've also gone recently.
30:14My first interaction in an awards show abroad was a very rude awakening.
30:19Why?
30:19People are watching.
30:22That moment comes.
30:23We know how to shoot.
30:27We know how to shoot.
30:29We know how to shoot.
30:31So, you go and you're like, bro, this is a very serious work.
30:34So, I think.
30:34I think it's like it's a few people watching, but it's a lot of people watching.
30:38It's a lot of people watching.
30:39You know, I think the deception is that we see a number on a screen.
30:4210 million.
30:43How much will it be?
30:4410 million people have a lot of people.
30:45Right?
30:46When you put a whole personality on them,
30:49a lot of people have 10 million views.
30:50Or it's a headcount.
30:52It's a headcount.
30:5210 million is a lot of views.
30:54Now, mashallah, you've done 2-3 billion dramas.
30:57So, that's a lot of people watching your stuff.
31:00So, I think we,
31:01just say the time goes by,
31:04I think from a technical standpoint,
31:06technicians are becoming very good.
31:09Actors, mashallah, and artists are very good.
31:12Directors are great directors.
31:13I do think that the moment,
31:15for an interest, you know, it's already starting to come.
31:18Of course.
31:18It's coming a lot.
31:19So, I think it's very positive.
31:21As far as cinema,
31:22I think cinema has shown a lot of promising potential.
31:28It has.
31:29It has.
31:30We can't deny that.
31:31We can say that few and far between.
31:33But it's not that if we calculate the ratio to cinema,
31:36to box office,
31:38so on 60-70 screens, the numbers we're pulling
31:41are unheard of in other territories.
31:43And now you're also coming to cinema,
31:44it's a lot more good.
31:46I didn't tell you,
31:47what was your experience with Sajjal and Humayun?
31:51You've done it with Sajjal.
31:53You've done it with Sajjal.
31:54So that was, it's always great with her.
31:55She's extremely focused,
31:58calm to calm, gives her 100% and also allows you to.
32:03You know, I remember our cake scene,
32:08a lot of movement she told me,
32:09why do you do it?
32:11You know, she's always been a great support.
32:13Off screen, you're a good friend with Sajjal?
32:14Sajjal is reasonable.
32:15I mean, it's, you know,
32:17it's very respectful.
32:18And I think she, in some ways,
32:20understands what pressure is on me.
32:24And so she makes it easy for me.
32:26So this is the second time,
32:27and I felt the same.
32:27You know, first time,
32:28I had never done anything.
32:31So this time, I was prepared a bit,
32:33comparatively.
32:34And she always makes you feel very,
32:39obviously, Masha'Allah,
32:39she's not just a name, but
32:43the caliber of her art is so strong,
32:46that she doesn't have to be good.
32:48So she's very generous that way.
32:50So she's very generous that way.
32:52And Humayi has been a massive
32:58learning masterclass.
33:01In not just, it's a craft,
33:03but a lot is a human being.
33:05You know, like you said,
33:06you don't want to become a producer.
33:07I would warn that if you become a producer,
33:08I can potentially be something like him.
33:10I saw that.
33:13I don't think
33:14any of this could exist
33:16if he wasn't as generous as he was.
33:19Farhad doesn't get that positioning
33:21if he doesn't have so big.
33:22He doesn't have his heart.
33:23Because we all know this,
33:24that for an actor to give space to another person,
33:28in his production,
33:30is his big part.
33:31So I will always be grateful for that.
33:33but this is true.
33:34Thank you so much, Azaan.
33:35It's been an absolute pleasure.
33:37Thank you, sir.
33:38I feel like my and Azaan's friends are good.
33:41Now, no one will give me a gift.
33:43No one will give me a gift.
33:45We'll see.
33:45And inshallah,
33:46when you have a film coming,
33:47it will be very soon.
33:48I will give you a gift again.
33:50I haven't said anything.
33:51You haven't said anything.
33:52Look, I said that there is room for improvement.
33:55There is an expression.
33:56I will give you a gift.
34:08You
