Ever since he started making videos of his mimicry, Syed Shafaat Ali has become a YouTube sensation.
It’s not that he wasn’t doing much before that but people tend to forget that he was one of the main guys in The Four Man Show and later on in Banana News Network. Since going solo, his career has been on the rise and now you can see him on TV and even in films.
In Parwaaz Hai Junoon, people liked his role of a cadet who joined the Pakistan Air Force to impress his girlfriend while he was the man behind the many voices you recognize in The Donkey King. Spotlight got in touch with the superb mimic and asked him about his past, present and upcoming projects.
People loved your comic timing in Parwaaz Hai Junoon and praised your role despite it not being a major one. Care to share something about that?
Shafaat Ali: I can only thank those who praised my acting that too in a serious film. I got many messages from around the world and all I can say is that all the hard work I put into the character paid up.
I have just started acting and believe that in order to do well in comedy, one has to work extra hard, since making people laugh is most difficult.
You can shout patriotic dialogs to capture the audience and cry to make them cry but comedy is the real test. You need to have an excellent comic timing, have command over your body language and your facial expressions must be perfect if you want people to laugh along with you.
How was the experience of playing a 19-year old cadet; what steps did you take to look young in the role?
Shafaat Ali: It was a life-changing experience because as a mimic, you have to be a little heavy so that you can play with your features while imitating others. However, when I signed Parwaaz Hai Junoon, I weighed 79 kg and in order to play a cadet and look the part, I set myself the target to lose 9 to 10 kilograms in 40 to 50 days.
Thankfully with the help of a strict diet and exercise, I was able to achieve the target. As for the experience of working in an Air Force Film, I can only state that I had become half airman when the story was narrated to me by the Air Commodore.
The biggest compliment I got was from the Air Chief himself who gifted me his cap as a token of appreciation for my fitness. There can’t be anything better than that!
Is it true that you nearly froze during the first day of shoot at the Academy?
Shafaat Ali: I didn’t freeze but yes, the temperature was minus 4 that first day of shooting where some cadets including myself were supposed to go through a punishment routine – that has since been abolished.
We were supposed to be exercising outside because we had eaten more than the food assigned to us and in order to add reality, cold water was sprayed on us which was too much as we weren’t wearing inners. Yes, I shivered a lot but thankfully didn’t freeze and was able to complete the film.
You also made your acting debut in TV this year which also made people take notice of you as an actor?
Shafaat Ali: My first TV drama as an actor is Romeo Weds Heer which is currently on air and people are loving my character. However, before this Anjum Shehzad play, Aijaz Aslam’s Kis Din Mera Viyah Howega aired during Ramadan and that makes it my debut, technically.
I am excited that people are accepting me as an actor and hopefully I will not disappoint them in the coming years.
And then there have been comparisons with the legendary Moin Akhtar …
Shafaat Ali: I am in no way near Moin Akhtar sahib who was an icon. I can’t match his achievements in two lifetimes and it would take me a third one where all I can do is do comedy to even come near him.
Yes, I did act with Anwar Maqsood Sahib earlier this year but that was an honor for me to sit on the very seat that he used to sit on. It would be an injustice to him if I am compared with him because I have to achieve a lot to be mentioned in the same sentence as him.
What about your career as a mimic and stand-up comedian … will it suffer due to your acting assignments?
Shafaat Ali: Working as a mimic and a stand-up comedian is my life; it is, in fact, my obsession and the crowd’s reaction serve as oxygen for me. At times when things don’t go the way you expect, it does become carbon dioxide (laughs) but the winner is that person who doesn’t give in to the pressure but releases it by raising the bar.
I take it as an adventure and my next appearance in Karachi would be on 4th November at a Comedy Night arranged at the Beach Luxury Hotel. After that, I am planning tours so don’t be surprised to find me in your city, soon.
Airing on Fridays on Hum TV, Baandi tells the story of how a young, innocent, village dwelling girl named Meeru (played by Aiman Khan).
As the story proceeds, she runs away from an evil feudal who wants to forcibly take her and she ends up in a city in the house of a horrible family where she faces abuse and torment.
Baandi is the story of many realities, many hopes and many dreams. If you haven’t caught up with it already, here are some of the reasons why you should tune in right now and check all the episodes out!
An important issue that Baandi speaks of is the abuse of domestic servants in Pakistan. In our part of the world, young girls are often taken from underprivileged families and are forced to work at low wages for rich and powerful families.
Even a lot of respected members of society such as lawyers, doctors have been involved in abuse of domestic servants. This shows that this pervasive social issue is relevant to many people who are watching our dramas and learning from them.
A subtext in Baandi is how people who put material wealth and superficial success above and beyond everything, even genuine relationships, are pretty terrible people. We also learn an important lesson that not everything should be driven by money or business or commercial interest – as a society we should also practice and value compassion, tolerance and fair play.
Very often, marriages are made for the sake of the aforementioned commercial and business interests. They do not take into account that the partner may be emotionally abusive, such marriages should be dissolved. Emotional abuse leads to physical abuse therefore should be immediately highlighted and not at all shoved under the carpet just to protect the ‘image’ of the family.
Composed and sung by Sahir Ali Bagga with assisting vocals of Beena Khan, the lyrics are penned by the drama’s writer, Asma Nabeel. It has a beautiful qawwali feel and fits perfectly in the sociopolitical melancholy of the story.
Yasir Hussain, mostly noted for his comic roles is playing an evil character. Yasir spoke about playing this role to Spotlight and said that he’s very happy with the script by Asma Nabeel and direction by Ahmad Kamran.
“The character is short but incredibly well-written. I’ve always wanted to do a negative character and they’ve both showed me so opposite of who I am. I tried working as hard as I could because we shot in the summers in interior Sindh and Karachi.”
Faiza Begum is a religious preacher and a rich socialite. Faiza’s character is a fantastic look into the hypocritical preachers of society who use religion as a tool to exploit others and keep a garb of decency and morality. In secret they are very horrible beings and do the exact opposite of what they preach.
Hina does a fantastic job in making the character highly realistic while portraying the message with utmost perfection.
Wali, played by Muneeb Butt, and Rameen, played by Hajra Yamin, are inseparable siblings who are fully aware of how evil their parents really are. Rameen got married at the age of 16 and has been through hell as she has a horrible wealthy husband. She relies solely on her younger brother, Wali who tries fighting for her.
He’s not always successful but he’s always in her corner and we see that he’s a great brother and is trying everything in his power to save his sister from her horrible life.
The real life couple, Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt share a lovely chemistry that is shown in the OST and teasers. Aiman’s character ‘Meeru’ comes to work in the house of Wali (Muneeb Butt) and that is the beginning of their love story which their fans will gladly enjoy.
