Hamza Ali Abbasi to reportedly direct a patriotic film

What is Hamza Ali Abbasi really upto? The actor told the world that he is quitting the entertainment industry to follow his spiritual journey, but his friends are saying that he will soon directing a film.

In a recent interview, Hamza’s close friend and colleague, Humayun Saeed revealed that the former actor will be donning the director’s hat and will be directing a patriotic film.

“Hamza was thinking about becoming a scholar for a quite some time and had started studying to be one,” Humayun said, adding, “Actually he has decided to leave showbiz for a certain period of time. In future, he would do characters that are more towards patriotism and spirituality.”

“Besides, he is coming into direction. I have planned a film on the subject of nationalism which will be directed by Hamza. Everything is almost done except deciding the name of project,” he shared further.

In November 2019, Hamza had announced that he will be quitting acting to focus on religion, his relationship with Allah and to spread the message of Islam.

“I had this divine revelation some time back, that all that I am doing in this world will end the moment I die. All these trophies, all these accolades will not bring me any good on the day of judgment when I meet my Maker. I have decided that I want to leave everything that might be a hurdle when it comes to making my matters easier on the day of Judgment.”

At the same time, Hamza had said that though he will be quitting acting, he will continue to make videos and use his voice and popularity to spread the message of Islam and inspire others to undertake this spiritual journey.

“My perspective of life has changed since I realised that I have to meet my God. With this realisation, what I decided to do is that I now wish to talk to people. I wish to spread the message.”

Hamza had asserted that making movies is not haraam, adding that he might even consider making movies that are not vulgar and propagate the message of peace and patriotism.

And looks like the actor is doing just that.

Meanwhile, when Hamza had announced his decision, Humayun had sent best wishes his way.
