Amar Khan, the daughter of veteran actor Fareeha Jabeen, is a fierce person who is ready to bring fresh to the fore and is known for her unique choices of roles. Amar recently worked alongside Adnan Siddiqui in his own production, Ghughi, where she plays a strong and courageous Hindu woman in the 1940’s.
However, her latest project Bellapur Ki Dayan is what has us excited! Co-starring Adnan Siddiqui, industry veteran Shakeel, Sarah Khan, Irfan Khoosat and Osama Tahir, the Saife Hasan directorial happens to be the production house’s very first horror-supernatural venture.
“I was shooting the last spell of Ghughi and the pictures of the serial were already out when Saife had the producers call me. I got to know it was a very ambitious and experimental project, so I went in and met with the director who told me that he saw a dayan in me,” Amar said, followed by genuine chuckles. “He told me he saw something very satanic in my eyes and that’s how the journey started.”
“I was very concerned about my look because it could either be an image-maker or breaker. But Bellapur Ki Dayan isn’t the typical dayan, with all those disgusting elements that we get to see in Asian horror flicks,” Amar shared.
“It’s been given very realistic treatment,” she assured, adding, “My director’s very much hanging me with cables in the air and he’s making me do all these acrobats, so it’s no longer a bedroom drama where I shed a tear or two, or even play a glamorous nagin; nothing of such sort.”
Besides these two projects Amar made her acting debut alongside Ahsan Khan in the internationally acclaimed telefilm, ‘Chashm e Num’ which follows the story of two blind lovers.
