Over the years, Bilal Abbas Khan has proven himself as a classic performer. He is one of those rare actors in the business who haven’t shied away from experimental content. His knack for smelling out-of-the-box scripts and unconventional characters makes him an audience favorite.
The actor is set to grace the prime time with ‘Mann Jogi’. Directed by Kashif Nisar, the drama serial features a fresh trio featuring Abbas, Sabeena Farooq and Mirza Gohar Rasheed.
While ‘Mann Jogi’ is set to premiere on Aug 3, let’s revisit Bilal’s top 5 performances.
O Rangreza – 2017
Bilal was 25 when he played a complex character in Kashif Nisar’s romantic comedy. The young actor stole the show with his intense portrayal as Qasim, an introvert who falls in love with his uncle’s daughter (Sajal Aly). His amazing chemistry with Aly added to the engaging quotient. This was his first bona fide performance when everyone stood up and noticed his acting chops.
Cheekh – 2019
The Badar Mehmood directorial announced Bilal’s stardom to the entire country. The actor chose to play the antagonist early on in his career, a move that many young actors don’t usually opt for. His wicked avatar and subtle nuances in every frame were simply commendable. Also holding his ground in front of stalwart like Saba Qamar was no mean feat. His act as Wajih Taseer is still considered as one of his most memorable roles.
Pyar Ke Sadqay – 2020
Abbas has never shied away from experimenting with unique roles. The Farooq Rind directorial normalized the fact that protagonist can be imperfect too. As Abdullah Shahbaz, viewers highly resonated with his range of emotions. His character required a certain physical mannerism and emotional investment that the actor brought with a level of effortless charm.
Dobaara– 2021
Many eyebrows were raised when Bilal got cast with Hadiqa Kiani, pertaining to the age gap between the two but they didn’t last. He raised the bar higher with his subtle and mature act. As the carefree Maahir, he sank his teeth well into the role and emerged victorious.
Ishq Murshid – 2023
The list couldn’t be complete without this magnanimous hit. Abbas’s dual act as Shameer Sikandar and Fazal Bakhsh is a testimony that he could do any role convincingly. His performance was captivating, filled with emotion, creating a memorable experience for the audience. The drama serial received widespread acclaim and topped the TRP charts. His chemistry with the leading lady Dur-e-Fishan Saleem added an extra layer of brilliance to the enterprise.
