Actor Ejaz Explores Comedy in Rafta Rafta A New Frontier in Entertainment
Discussing his latest comedy miniseries Rafta Rafta, the actor said, “I picked this project because I have never done comedy before and this was something new for me that I wanted to do. And it’s a miniseries, nothing long, so I thought it was a good experiment for only six episodes.
Exploring comedy
Ejaz expressed his enjoyment in exploring this genre, highlighting the joy and interest he finds in his work. However, he emphasized the importance of delivering natural performances that resonate with audiences, acknowledging that true success lies in the reaction of viewers.
The actor went on to describe his character, stating, “I play a boy who has run away from Lahore to Karachi because he doesn’t want to marry his cousin and his mother is forcing him to. Now he’s come to Karachi and his landlady is Saheefa’s character, Savera. He has no money to pay rent and he’s in love with the landlady who is a very strict-mannered and haughty girl.”
When asked about his satisfaction with his performances in comparison to his earlier dramatic roles, Ejaz explained that each genre offers its unique challenges and rewards. While there may be no direct comparison between the two, he stressed the importance of personal satisfaction in every scene, ensuring that each moment resonates authentically with the audience.
He remarked, “If I compare my own experience of these two years, I enjoyed a lot in doing comedy. And I didn’t find it that difficult. But then again, when it comes on screen, you will know. But whatever I do, I do it with interest and joy. If it flows naturally, it’s good, if it doesn’t, then people will know.”
“If people liked me doing comedy and I get more offers after this, I will do it,” he added. On the topic of potential film offers, Ejaz revealed that while he has received offers, he remains focused on honing his skills and awaiting the right opportunity to make his mark in the world of cinema. With a commitment to continuous improvement, the 27-year-old expressed his readiness to embrace the challenge of transitioning to the big screen when the time is right.
