Ahmed Ali Akbar Looks Forward to Being the Bad Guy in His Next Project
In a dramatic turn reflective of his on-screen versatility, Ahmed Ali Akbar, the breakout star of the iconic “Parizaad,” reveals his deliberate approach to script selection in a recent interview with Kehkashan Bukhari for Geo Digital.
Known for bringing characters to life, whether conventional or unconventional, Ahmed shares, “I don’t have a particular intention to pick something different. If the story is good, I mould the character by sharing thoughts with the director. I guess I’ve been fortunate in scripts” — all punctuated with a smile.
Intriguingly, when asked about the possibility of playing a negative role, perhaps a villain, Ahmed responds, “Well, I’ll definitely go for that. In fact, I’m in negotiations with the makers. Viewers might see me on screen in a negative role, not too soon, but after some time,” he teases.
Embarking on his acting journey in the late ’90s with PTV’s Stop Watch, Ahmed Ali Akbar made his film debut in 2013 with Siyaah. Since then, he has graced the silver screen with memorable performances in films like Laal Kabootar, Parchi, Karachi Se Lahore, and Lahore Se Agay. In the world of dramas, his roles in Hum TV’s Ehde Wafa and the groundbreaking Parizaad remain in our memories.
