Actor, singer and host Ahmad Ali Butt is gearing up for his upcoming film Parey Hut Love that is scheduled to release this Eid-ul-Azha. He is presently busy with the rehearsals of the 18th Lux Style Awards, for which he has also been nominated, and is probably going to be one of the hosts at the event.

In addition, Butt is also prepping for a TV role in an intense drama serial, titled Jhooti. He has paired up with Ranjha Ranjha Kardi actress Iqra Aziz, who will be playing opposite him.

In a bid to know more about his character, Instep got in touch with the actor-host-comic who informed that they are currently shooting for the project. Talking about his character, he revealed, “I essay the role of a middle class working man who gets married to a compulsive liar played by the talented Iqra. The story goes much deeper into the relationship of her character and how everything and everyone gets affected by her behaviour.”

According to the Jawani Phir Nahi Ani actor, Jhooti – as the title suggests – is a serious play which explores the character of Iqra and her compulsive lying behaviour. “There are some major shockers in the play and how my character is affected by them,” he added.

Directed by Ramish Rizvi, the play is written by Ali Moeen and features Abid Ali, Asma Abbas and Yasir Hussain besides him and Iqra.

Let’s wait and see what the actor, who is known for his comic roles, has to offer in the upcoming drama serial which is slated to air in the coming months.
