Actor Hamza Firdous, presently starring as the protagonist in Seerat alongside Kinza Hashmi, has appeared in a number of popular TV plays including O’ Rangreza and Ghughi. The actor will soon be seen in an upcoming web series, tentatively titled Murder In The Air, as well as a short film called Frogster, while he gears up for his film debut in Pakistan.

The untitled project is a crime thriller, according to Hamza, and carries an important message for viewers.

“It is an indie film that has a very entertaining script,” Hamza told Instep in an exclusive conversation. “Written by Ali Moin, the upcoming film will be directed by Asad Mumtaz Malik, who is a DOP and is currently working on Alif with Haseeb Hassan. The entire film will be shot in Karachi.”

The actor also informed that he will be playing the male lead while the female lead is yet to be finalized. Besides that, the cast includes some incredibly talented actors including Saleem Mairaj, Adnan Shah Tipu and others; he noted that the music for the film will be composed by Ahmed Jahanzeb.

In addition to this, Hamza has also signed another film project for which he has begun shooting. It is a small-budget, content-oriented film set in Bahawalpur. According to the actor, it’s a beautiful story, which is hilarious and emotional at the same time. Though he is under a contract due to which he didn’t reveal much about his second feature film, he informed that the film was originally meant for festivals but will release in theatres across Pakistan as well. Meanwhile, you will soon see him in another TV project called Bin Badal Barsat, which is being directed by Ahmad Kamran and features Sonia Mishal opposite him.
