titile------Shabbir on a mission.
sub title---shabbir ahluwalia on his next mission in life ---mission istanbul ,chemistry wid co-stars & more....
SHABBIR AHLUWALIA ,the heartthrob of Indiantelevision after making a mark on the small screen is now trying to cement his place in bollywood .Having made his presence felt in SHOOT OUT AT LOKHANDWALA , this bad boy of the small screen is now set to play a terrorist in Apoorva Lakhias upcoming Mission Istanbul.
Not ready to reveal much abt his character in Mission…. Yet shabbir says , I'm playing an Afghan terrorist Khalil ,in the movie .it's an out n out black character .i can't say anything more about the character at this point of time .''
But then isn't his role a bit similar to the one in Shootout At Lokahndwala ?? 'No .My character is quite different in shootout … I played a gangster who was otherwise good at heart & a genuine person But Khalil doesn't have all those qualities," Shabbir explains .
In his short stint in bollywood .Shabbir has only played character roles .So ,is he just more n more interested in displaying histrionics from the side or will his fans watch him play the lead sometime soon ??
"very soon.There are a couple of offers that I've got & I'm contemplating them,'' he replies .
Back to where he began his career from ----TV. What does he attribute his strong on-screen persona to, given that he has often over shadowed even the lead actors in serials ??
'well ,I'm just too fortunate that I got roles that are well- sketched & are very different from the routine ones .I guess that's why I was noticed so much on television …… Perhaps more than the lead actors too ,'' he says after a pause.
And any thing special that he does to show that great chemistry with all his actresses on TV ??
'For that I just try & share a great comfort level with all my women co-stars .And THAT'S what translates on the screen as well ,'' says the notorious Rishi of kahin to hoga .
What's his mantra of success ??
' I believe in giving my best .I give preference to only those scripts that excite me and which I think will b liked by the audience .''
And what's with his rugged look??
'That's because I have mostly been playing out –of –the –box ,hard –hitting roles on both television as well as the big screen .But that's not to say that I don't work on my loks .I try and look different for all my characters .''
Not many ppl know that Shabbir is a sports enthusiast .So does he still find the time for sports ,given his tight schedules ??
'Yes I make it a point to play at least one sport ocaasionally .I play cricket ,football and badminton with my friends .I feel playing nay kind of sport helps you distress your mind & keeps your body fit ,'' says Shabbir.
Shabbirs two photographs were given in the articles one was of the movie MISSION ISTANBUL where he is in black pathan suit with black turban & black goggles.
Another one was in a white casual suit ,he is wearing white shirt😜 .
