Hamza is SUCH an excellent crier, I don't have words to praise him. And IMO, no one could've played Afzal's role better than Hamza. He can appear tough and all bad boy like at some places while at the others, he's so vulnerable that you want to hug him tight and cry with him ❤️
So true! It's funny to think that the original choice for this role was Humayun Saeed
Khalil ur Rehman Qamar wrote the play with Humayun in mind. When he spoke to Humayun about it, Humayun suggested Hamza's name. KRQ still wasn't satisfied. Till that time Hamza had just done a couple supporting roles in Waar and MHSA, and a small negative role in Bezubaan. So KRQ asked Saba Hameed (who plays Afzal's mom) to pick between Humayun and Hamza and she instantly said, Hamza. And thank God for that!! Hamza totally owned it.
It's ironic how two of the most iconic male characters in Pak drama industry, Afzal Subhanallah and Asher Hussain, were originally offered to different actors - Afzal to Humayun and Asher to Faisal Q. Now you can't even THINK of anyone other than Hamza and Fawad in these characters!
