Known for his comic role in sitcom, Bulbulay, which is presently in its 11th season, veteran actor Mehmood Aslam is incredibly diverse and versatile. Currently, he is essaying the role of a cruel husband and father in Silsilay and an influential and brutal politician in Khaani; you can also catch him regularly in Bulbulay. He appeared in films as well during the early days of Lollywood after which he moved to television as he thought films at that time lacked depth. However, he is returning to the big screen after almost three decades with the upcoming Teefa In Trouble that stars Ali Zafar and Maya Ali in lead roles and is directed by Ahsan Rahim.
Aslam will be essaying the role of Butt sahib in Teefa, who is described as “a food lover, a family man; a man to be feared and revered!”
Speaking of making a comeback in films, Mehmood sahab shared in a statement, “Films are like a university. When you finish school and college and then when you start your university life, the grandeur of it all is just something else. I was a newbie back in 1987 when I worked in my first movie project. I was an ambitious man and I was focused, I wanted to do good work, play strong characters and I did that for 3 to 4 years but to be honest, for me the movies coming out during that time weren’t up to the cinematic mark so I respectfully decided to go back to television.”
“After 28 years I finally got the role which I always wanted to play,” he added. Mere andar ka Mehmood Aslam jaag gaya!...It was an amazing experience working with Ahsan Rahim and Ali Zafar and I have complete faith that this movie will set new industry precedent!”
The film is an action comedy that also features Faisal Qureshi and Jawed Sheikh in important roles and is scheduled to release on July 20, this year.
