Faysal Quraishi is a name synonymous with excellence in the Pakistani entertainment industry. Over the years, he has earned widespread acclaim for his impeccable acting skills, consistently delivering outstanding performances across various television dramas.
From his early breakthrough in Boota from Toba Tek Singh to his more recent roles in Farq, Khaie, and Zulm, Quraishi has proven time and again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of acting. His versatility and dedication have made him one of Pakistan’s most respected and beloved actors.
In addition to his acting career, Faysal Quraishi has recently ventured into the world of podcasting, offering his insights and opinions on various industry-related topics through his YouTube channel, Faysal Quraishi Official.
His podcast, Pressure Buhat Hey, has garnered attention for its candid discussions on the challenges faced by actors, the industry dynamics, and the often unseen struggles behind the glamorous facade of showbiz.
The Reality of Working with Producers
In a recent episode of his podcast, Faysal Quraishi shed light on the often overlooked realities of working with producers in the Pakistani drama industry.
Drawing from his thirty years of experience, he painted a picture of an industry where actors are frequently asked to compromise on their fees due to budget constraints.
Quraishi candidly shared his experiences with producers who, more often than not, approach actors with a plea for understanding and flexibility.
He noted that he has never encountered a producer who openly admitted to having a large budget or promised generous compensation for a project.
Instead, the conversation usually revolves around the producer being “hand to mouth” and struggling with a low budget.
This, Quraishi explained, often leads to actors, including himself, being blackmailed into accepting roles for less money than they deserve, simply because they are drawn to the strength of the character or the potential impact of the role.
“I am the person who gets blackmailed by any good character,” Quraishi confessed during the podcast. “Most of the time, I accept their offer because of my good character.
” His words resonate with the experiences of many actors in the industry who face similar dilemmas balancing the need to earn a livelihood with the passion for their craft and the desire to take on meaningful roles.
Fahad Mustafa’s Return to Television
Another highlight of the podcast was Faysal Quraishi’s thoughts on Fahad Mustafa’s return to television with the drama serial Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.
Fahad Mustafa, who has made a significant mark in the film industry with his performances in popular movies like Na Maloom Afraad and Actor in Law, made a much-anticipated comeback to television with this drama.
Quraishi expressed his admiration for Fahad Mustafa’s performance in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, revealing that he encouraged Mustafa to continue working in television.
“I have enjoyed his performance and told him to keep doing television,” Quraishi shared, highlighting the importance of versatile actors like Mustafa staying connected to television, even as they explore other avenues like film.
Faizan Sheikh, who was also part of the conversation, echoed Quraishi’s sentiments. He remarked on how refreshing it was to see Fahad Mustafa back on the small screen and expressed his hope that Mustafa would continue to take on television projects in the future.
“Now that Fahad Mustafa has done a drama, I think he should do it more often,” Sheikh stated. “I am enjoying it a lot, and I think he must have enjoyed the process too.”
The Significance of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum has been a significant project not just for Fahad Mustafa but also for the industry at large.
The drama, which marks Mustafa’s return to television after a significant gap, has been well-received by audiences, further cementing his position as a versatile actor capable of excelling in both television and film.
The positive reception of the drama has sparked discussions about the importance of television as a medium and the need for top-tier actors to remain involved in TV projects, even as they pursue careers in film.
Faysal Quraishi’s insights into the behind-the-scenes realities of the entertainment industry, coupled with his thoughts on Fahad Mustafa’s return to television, offer a glimpse into the complex world of Pakistani showbiz.
His podcast continues to be a platform where industry veterans like himself can share their experiences, challenges, and advice, contributing to a deeper understanding of the craft and the industry as a whole.
As fans and viewers, it is easy to get lost in the glamour and excitement of television dramas and films. However, through platforms like Pressure Buhat Hey, audiences are reminded of the hard work, sacrifices, and sometimes difficult choices that actors and industry professionals must make to bring those stories to life.
Whether it’s navigating the challenges posed by budget constraints or making decisions about which projects to take on, the journey of an actor like Faysal Quraishi is filled with moments of both triumph and compromise.
