The uber cool VJ, Adnan Malik, has always been known for his slick style. Currently donning the director's hat of his production company, Adnan Malik Productions (AMP), the rising star recently made his acting debut with drama Sadqay Tumhare, currently airing on HUM TV.
In an email interview with Dawn, Adnan talks about his experience and expectations from Sadqay Tumhare and the different roles he plays in the industry.
What are your expectations from Saqday Tumhare given that this is your first ever drama?
Adnan Malik: I don’t really have any expectations from it as this is my first full-fledged TV series. I think that I’m really lucky to have been offered such a fantastic role in Khalilur Rehman Qamar’s richly textured autobiographical screenplay.The dialogues were so much fun to deliver. Then there’s Ehtashamuddin’s sure footed direction, and a dynamic and talented cast.
When I decided to take on the role, I really did it for the experience. I had never really thought about what would happen once it’s released. It was more about personal growth. My training is in the direction and the craft of film-making, and that’s what I do, so being on the inside of a narrative as an actor was the main pull. And acting also makes you confront a lot of your personal demons. Sadqay Tumhare provided the perfect landscape for me to learn about these things.
The experience was extremely enriching in retrospect, and one can really hope that the audience enjoy the end product.
