Actor Amar Khan has praised her 'Mitti De Baway' co-star Wahaj Ali for his portrayal of Iqbal, aka Baala, declaring that no other actor could have done the role perfectly.
In a recent interview, Amar describes how hard Wahaj worked on set, maintaining his demanding physical transformation even as he fell sick during a cold shoot in Sargodha.
“He had a high fever, nasal congestion and a bad throat, and we were shooting in Sargodha in freezing winters,” Amar says. “We all wore these outfits in that freezing cold, and I watched him keep going after the shoot, because his transformation is a complete body transformation.”
While the rest of the cast rested, Wahaj headed to the gym. “We all went to our rooms at 12 or 12:30 at night, ate and slept,” she says. “He had found a small gym in Sargodha, and he went there at 1:00 in the morning to complete his workout.”
Amar says his discipline sets him apart. “Going that extra mile, not taking your stardom for granted, proving yourself in every scene and being so secure. I am so proud of him. I feel so happy for him, and he deserves every ounce of the success he is getting.”
