OYE! Faisal Qureshi

Director, screenwriter, actor and humorist, Faisal Qureshi has a number of comedy dramas, commercials and music videos to his credit. The Ali Zafar and Maya Ali-starrer Teefa in Trouble, directed by Ahsan Rahim, which released worldwide on July 20, marks Faisal’s comeback as an actor post cinema revival of the country. Faisal, who is known for his wit and comic timing, essays the role of Tony Dot Shah and Teefa’s (Ali Zafar) friend in the romantic action comedy, Teefa in Trouble that is doing wonders on the box office. The last time the comedian teamed up with Ahsan and Ali was back in 2002 for Abrar ul Haq’s ‘Preeto’.
