Faysal Qureshi To Make A Comeback to Silver Screen

Fans of Faysal Qureshi have something to rejoice about. The King of Emotions is all set to make a comeback to silver screen in Sohail Javed’s directorial.

In an interview, Sohail shared his plans for the upcoming Faysal-starrer which will see the actor on the big screen after a decade and will be the director's first feature film directorial.

"It's a love story, but it's not going to be a rom-com at all. It's [a] very, very serious story that we have taken up," shared Sohail regarding the untitled film that will be going to floors by the end of this December.

"When I say it's a serious film, it basically means that the story is serious. Otherwise it has all the ingredients of a commercial film; it's scenic and captivating, and has six songs, too," added the director, who also hinted that some of the big names are going to be working on the film's music.

While Sohail did not have much details to share on the cast – which will be announced by next month – he surely seemed ecstatic to have the versatile Faysal on board both, as the lead and co-producer. "Faysal has done about 21 films in his early days and those were all the commercial films with songs and dance etc. – which by the way he'll be doing in this one, too," said Sohail.

Adding further, he said, "But the reason why Faysal was the first one to whom this script was narrated is that he's probably the only actor who understood the need of telling this story, who was willing to take up a serious film that is based on a strong storyline." Sohail shared of the movie, “The thing with serious movies is that nobody is really willing to put in a lot of money in that. While this might not be a very big budgeted film, it's a reasonably good budgeted one.”

Sohail said with confidence oozing through his voice, "This is very close to our hearts and it's definitely something that you have never seen before, take my word for it!"
