After playing the comedic sidekick on screen for so long Danish Nawaz stepped back into acting with
Chupke Chupke. The reason he made the move is that he was done being placed in the box of a comedian when he had more to offer as an artist.
In an interview with Express Tribune, the actor-cum-director talked about his directing stint with
Chupke Chupke. This isn’t his first time directing as previously directed comedy-dramas
Hum Sab Ajeeb Say Hain,
Dramay Baziyan, and drama serials
Sun Yaara,
Kashf to name a few.
“When you are showcased in roles from a single genre – in my case, comedy – it is very easy to be labelled as a comedian. I didn’t want that, … It was obvious the audience loved my work as an actor in sitcoms. But I wanted to do more than that, I wanted to experiment. Hence, I decided to step in the direction.”
The actor-turned-director seems to have ticked all these boxes with the humongous success of his Ramazan sitcom
KARACHI:
It is never easy to break the shell. Especially for an artist who is not only typecast as a comic sidekick but a sidekick whose persona is often associated with ‘
awaami’ humour or what the social media brigade likes to term as cringe content.
The uphill task is real. You not only have to fortify your acceptance in a relatively upper-class viewership of TV, but you also have to retain the audience that accepted you with all your flaws. Danish Nawaz seems to have ticked all these boxes with the humongous success of his Ramazan sitcom
