In this podcast, he discusses the negotiating tactics producers use when signing actors for dramas. He also shares his perspective on Fahad Mustafa drama serial Kabhi Mai Kabhi Tum .
Discussing producers, Faysal Quraishi remarked, “With thirty years of experience, I’ve never heard a producer claim they have a big budget and that actors will be well-compensated.
Instead, producers always say, ‘We’re struggling financially, the budget is tight, please consider this role.’ I tend to agree to their terms, often feeling pressured to accept roles based on the quality of the character rather than the financial offer.”
Regarding Fahad Mustafa, Quraishi shared, “I’ve enjoyed Fahad’s performance and encouraged him to continue working on television, but it’s up to him to decide. While he seems to enjoy films the most, it’s great to see him back on TV.”
Faizan Sheikh added, “Now that Fahad Mustafa has returned to drama, I think he should do it more frequently. I’m enjoying his work a lot, and I believe he must have enjoyed the process as well, although I’m not sure.”
