Currently essaying the protagonist in revenge drama Khalish alongside Asif Raza Mir, actor-host Faysal Qureshi is on a roll. While he hosts a popular morning show, he is busy shooting for multiple upcoming TV projects. One of them is called Baba Jani that also marks his debut in TV production while the other one is titled Haiwaan. Given Qureshi’s past works that mostly revolve around his characters, the upcoming plays are likely to feature him in titular roles.

“Haiwaan follows a brutal story,” he told Instep. “It’s about a character which is commonly found in our society. In order to cover a mistake that he has committed at some point, he commits more of them. And then there comes a point when the truth is unveiled. The drama revolves around two families and how they survive difficult circumstances. It is a very intense story, with a lot of drama.”

The actor also informed that he is cast opposite Iffat Omar while the play also features Savera Nadeem, Wahaj Ali, Sanam Chaudhry and others. Directed by Mazhar Moin and written by Zanjabeel Asim, Haiwaan will go on air later this year.
