Humayun Saeed and Fahad Mustafa are two of the biggest stars in the Pakistani entertainment industry these days.
Actor and model Umer Aalam made a guest appearance on the ‘FHM podcast’ and shared his thoughts on the current state of stardom in the entertainment industry.
“The only star power we have right now is with Fawad bhai, Humayun bhai, and these other guys, these are the stars.
“Only once they step aside can others step up. I mean, we don’t even need to replace them yet because we don’t have anyone ready to take their place,” he said.
The host, Adnan Faisal, asked, “Who will replace them?” to which Raqs-e- Bismil actor replied, “I’m telling you, it might be someone right in front of you, maybe not now, but time will tell. These people have put a lot of work and time into this industry. In my opinion, no one can easily replace them just like that, but to become a star, you need a huge body of work behind you. You don’t just become a star overnight.”
Talking about the drama serial Gentlemen, Aalam praised its high production.
“The work was good, the story is solid, the people are great, and the production is top-notch, but, for some reason, it hasn’t fully clicked yet. Maybe it will once the proper love story starts because, in dramas, it usually picks up after around the eighth or ninth episode. It’s rare for a drama to take off right from the first episode”, he added.
Currently, Fahad Mustafa is starring in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, while Humayun Saeed has wrapped up his drama Gentlemen, the last episode of which has already aired.
