Imran Abbas with Alia and Naheed Shabbir on the location of Sanwli

Imran Abbas with co-artists on the set of Teri Meri Dosti

Teri Meri Dosti —- is a story of a few friends who have created a world for themselves and their broken realities. Its not a love story. Its a story about love…

Its not necessary everything is said in a linear fashion. Life happens non-linearly. Anything can happen anytime… Our choices are the deciding factor to it. How does one choose what is fair for him or her? How does one cope with a choice gone wrong? How does one survive with the pressures of a choice made right —

TMD — is a story of artists…. how they see their world. What lies within them… what makes them paint, sing, write…

Rafael Ali — all of a sudden came into the lives of Misal and his friends…. He was that broken link that they all needed to see their true worth…. Rafay loved art… And he made everyone around him value and respect art… till one day — he discovers how each piece of art — written years ago was a link to his broken life and he finally gets his answers…. An artist expresses the truth in ways thats hard to decipher…

TMD is a light, fresh, breezy with a lot of songs, dances and emotional content. The story moves at a serpentine pace which covers various plots and angles to human and artistic behavior.

Directed by : Shahbaz Anwar

Seeing Imran Abbas there took many people by surprise, particularly when they came to know that the actor tries his hand at Urdu poetry. He had brought pieces of paper on the programme on which ghazals and nazms by known verse-wielders and himself were scribbled. He narrated them, albeit in a rush smothering some of the words, on the show. Some of his own poems were not bad, and had the metrical balance that’s a prerequisite for poetry.

Imran triggered the debate that actors in Pakistan nowadays don’t like to read, which is why their efforts lack poignancy while acting (or something to that effect). Actress Saina Saeed also joined the show by phoning in, agreeing with Imran Abbas that since some of the stars acquire popularity at an early stage of their career without having a book-reading background, they don’t deem it fit to study literature to hone their skills.

Now the query that springs to mind like a Ghalib’s couplet: if Imran Abbas is into literature and stuff, what has he so far been doing on TV? Which one of his plays indicated that he’s a literature buff? It’s only when he appeared alongside Wasi Shah that we came to know the actor’s fondness for poetry.

His first shoot of Khawar Riaz took him to fame and popularity within a short span of period.

He plans to finish his drama and TV Serial at the earliest and he wants to pursue Career in Architecture. He has planned to go to abroad to pursue the degree. He wants to leave Karachi to Islamabad.

About his upcoming projects are Haider Imam Rizvi opposite with Indian actress Dia Mirza, Faheem Burney with some Indian co-stars. He also completed Haseena Moina tere Aajane se and a serial Kinara.
