The actor admits he enjoys playing roles that challenge him. Before that, not many plays tackled schizophrenia on our TV but kudos to Edison Idrees Masih for penning the script so well that people have now started taking it seriously, and more importantly, are considering it a disease.
SK: Saraab was not just a drama but an experience for both Sonya Hussyn and myself under Mohsin Talat’s brilliant direction, we not only managed to highlight a social issue that is a part of our lives but also taught the audience how to deal with it.
Instep: Let’s talk about your most difficult role in recent years – playing two Asfand Yars in Saraab – one was a real person, the other was an illusion… Veterans like Tanveer Jamal, Asma Abbas, Komal Aziz Khan, Javeria Abbasi, Saife Hassan, and Nida Mumtaz are among some of the actors who feature in the drama serial, making it a perfect mixture of both veterans and young blood. I would like to mention here that working so closely with a young actress like Kinza and a veteran like Bushra Aapa was an amazing experience and I hope it reflects on screen the way it is intended to. The story revolves around a broken family, where the daughter strives to meet high expectations and suffers in the process. SK: It’s a Samira Fazal play in which I get to play the main lead opposite Kinza Hashmi the legendary Bushra Ansari plays my mother.
Instep: Do tell us something about the upcoming Mohlat? I was part of two upcoming Pakistani films: Yaara Vey and Lafangey Chapter One. 2 and Kaaf Kangana (all in 2019) and reunite with my Bashar Momin co-star Faysal Qureshi in our Hollywood debut The Window. I also returned to films after 15 years with Gumm: In The Middle Of Nowhere, Wrong No. I also got a chance to feature in issue-based social dramas such as Inkaar (2019) and Ishq Zahe Naseeb (2019) as well as recent hits Saraab (2020) and Dulhan (2020). During the last four years, I managed to play the bad guy in Rasm-e-Duniya and Khudgarz (both in 2017), earned praise for my performance in Toh Dil Ka Kia Hua (2017) and Aisi Hai Tanhai (2017). Sami Khan (SK): I’d say that one thing or the other has kept me extremely busy. Instep: How would you summarize the past few years of your career? Instep On Sunday caught up with the hero ahead of the airing of Mohlat and spoke to him about his recent projects and experimenting with cinema. Having delivered so many hits on Geo TV, Sami returns to what is considered his home ground with the upcoming Mohlat. In the past few years he’s delivered some very strong characters in serials like Inkaar, Ishq Zahe Naseeb, Saraab and Dulhan, before which he built a solid portfolio in dramas like Tere Pehlu Main, Jo Chale To Jaan Se Guzar Gaye, Sabz Pari Lal Kabootar, Do Qadam Door Thay, Bashar Momin, Mannat and Dhaani in addition to Teri Meri Jodi. Sami Khan is all set to star in Mohlat, an upcoming Geo drama serial, opposite Kinza Hashmi.
