Fans of hit drama serial Parizaad are glad that the producers did not pick veteran actor Faysal Qureshi for the titular role.
In a recent conversation on Junaid Akram’s podcast, Faysal Qureshi mentioned drama serial Parizaad being a trendsetter. Going on to admit how he wanted to bag the titular role but couldn’t.
At this point, the name Ahmed Ali Akbar is synonymous with Parizaad. The actor really knocked it out of the ballpark with his performance in the drama serial. However, someone else also had their sights set on the role. While we can’t imagine any other artists playing the titular character in Parizaad, Faysal Quraishi wanted that role.
“I really wanted to do that script but I was rejected, people said that it is a flop, don’t go for it,” the Dil-e-Momin star told Junaid Akram. “The writer also got upset with me but I said to him as people warned me that it won’t work.”
Well, it turns out that Parizaad became a nationwide hit and people are glad Faysal Qureshi was not picked. As soon as the veteran actor made his statement on Junaid Akram’s podcast, netizen took to our comment section to troll the Dil-e-Momin star.
Though Faysal Qureshi can’t take Ahmed Ali Akbar’s place as Parizaad but it would be interesting if he was an alternate choice to play Nauman Ijaz’s Agha Behroze Karim. What do you think? Share your thoughts below.
