Pakistan is typically portrayed in an extremely unfavorable way: Omar Ayesha
During an open discussion with the Independent Urdu, Ayesha Omar emphasized the value of having a variety of characters in a movie. She spoke extensively about how and why she accepted the role of a journalist in the Dhai Chaal movie. She talked about the villain role in more detail, emphasizing how crucial the antagonist is to the plot of a drama or movie.
Omar was sure that her film would represent Pakistan in a positive light. She responded, “It’s a character, and playing every character is enjoyable,” when questioned about her ambition to play a journalist in Dhai Chaal. There ought to be no excuse for not pursuing it. I used to work as a journalist myself.I used to host live morning shows that included infotainment as well as entertainment. The persona held interest.
“I thought back then that working in Quetta, Balochistan, would be greatly pleasing and it will be a different experience, so I intended to do it,” the Money Back Guarantee actor continued.
“The way I was convinced was really great and then I realized that the producer’s passion and intention is pure and he is determined and is going to do something new,” the woman said in response to a question about how she was persuaded to take on the role of a journalist.
“I have this thing in me that actually helps those people who are adamant about expanding their horizons and trying something new,” she continued. Actors who love working under large banners have good reason—you can be sure that the work is completed on schedule, properly, and in an orderly manner.
“But when you are working with a new production team, you never know what lies ahead,” Omar continued. You know, things do halt occasionally when money runs out. Risk arises from things that are not anticipated. However, since I have always taken risks—you know, I’m a risk-taker at heart—I decided to go ahead and do it because it’s in my blood. And being a part of it was an incredible experience.
When the topic of Omar’s motivation for adopting the journalist role came up, someone asked her if she got the idea from watching other journalists. To which Omar said, “Not really, I do observe every female journalist.” Thus, not really.
“The film’s story is so powerful, so strong, and so honest that there should be a massive viewership,” she added, optimistic about the film’s captivating force. She expressed concern about how Pakistan is portrayed negatively in the media and in foreign films, saying, “I think the truth needs to be brought forward.” In various businesses and motion pictures, we are portrayed in a very unfavorable light.
Telling the people the truth is very important, Omar declared. Not only is our narrative inaccurate, but it also misrepresents Muslims. Therefore, it is essential to present a counternarrative, and you should leave it to the people, whose expertise and investigation will reveal the true story.
She responded, “I think antagonists/negative are more powerful and, in a way, integral and important for any story,” when asked if she would like to portray a villain in the future. Thus, I would like portraying antagonistic roles as well.
“We had no idea how long this project will go, but it is such a huge thing – a record-breaking project,” she said in response to a query regarding Bulbulay. I recommended to Nabeel that the children return to the project.
