Atif Aslam is sincere in his approach and does look like he has made an effort to go beyond the Atif Aslam imagery. How the drama unfolds remains to be seen.

With musical icons like Hadiqa Kiani and Atif Aslam taking on acting, it will create an interesting dynamic within music and make room for younger musicians.

That said, both have released new music in 2021, so their fling with television will not take away from the place they have in music. The question mark is Atif, since these are just teasers. How the narrative unfolds and whether his loyal fanbase will accept him as an actor, or not, is yet to be seen.                                                          https://www.thenews.com.pk/tns/detail/917552-turhan-james-to-open-for-martin-garrix

Hania Aamir's upcoming drama Sang-e-Mah highlights the 'social evil' of 'ghag'

DESK REPORT

She defined it as a custom in which men force marriage proposals onto women without their consent.

I pose a rhetorical query: When Saife opted to include Atif Aslam in the cast, he must have expected the dramas hype to magnify. Yes, but not to this extent! People have been messaging me constantly ever since we started releasing the teasers. I have gotten queries not just from Pakistan but also from India and Bangladesh. I have even been added to groups on social media that have been created by Atifs fans.

The Aadeez? Yes! I am one of them now! laughs the director.              For Atif Aslam, the hype is testament to his star-power and the love of his fans. However, it does bring the pressure on him. Talking about his role in Sang-e-Mah, Atif observes, The fact that people dont expect a mistake from me is very intimidating. Acting as Hilmand was certainly something new for me but that didnt mean that I should stop taking risks or accepting challenges.

Discussing the acting process, he says, It was amazing to step into another character and learn so many new things. Memorizing Hilmand was a role and a half in itself. It was difficult for me to unlearn Atif Aslam and become this new person. I am hoping that the audience likes Sang-e-Mah. Fingers crossed!                                        How did the veterans on set feel about having one of the countrys most powerful rockstars suddenly take a turn towards acting and share screen space with them? This is a question that I pose to Sania Saeed, one of Pakistans most powerful actresses. I think it was a brave move made by Atif and I saw him working very hard, she says. He knew that was he in strange territory and in the company of seasoned veterans and he was very focused. I think that it was always promising to see new blood enter the field. There are roles for everyone. An older actor cant do the role of a younger character. There is a space for everyone to make his or her mark.

She continues, Saife is also an actor which I feel aids him when he is directing. He knows exactly how he wants the scene to be. I used to tease him that he would never say Shabash! to me after a scene was shot but he would say it to Atif! He would joke back that I could act as soon as I woke up from sleep while this was Atifs first time, she laughs.                                                                                                           On that very promising note, Sang-e-Mah-Mah gears to make its TV premiere. The first episode will also be premiering on the cinema screen and theres no denying that it is preceded by a great deal of anticipation. The inclusion of Atif Aslam particularly places the drama in the spotlight, which is both a blessing but also a burden. The drama could become an overnight hit  but it also runs the risk of being criticized rampantly.

Hopefully, people will like it, says Saife Hassan.

Hopefully, yes, they will.                                                                          https://www.glossetc.com/curtain-raiser-glimpses-from-inside-sang-e-mah/

A few of the fans are praising his acting by heart and wishing him luck. Others are writing famous Akshay Kumars dialogue,  Uday Bhai Yeh Kis line mey a Gaey Ap .

One fan said that hes nothing in acting and Nauman Ijaz is great at acting. Many fans actually didnt like the dialogue Iblees ka Baap , a few said that such nerrative portrays wrong image of Pakistan. However, Atif Aslams fans were posting loving emojis under his clip , they were just waiting for his dramas. Many fans gave Atif Aslam an advice to stick to singing instead of acting. A few fans said that drama will be a Block Buster.                                                                                           https://dailytimes.com.pk/864954/public-reacts-to-atif-aslams-acting-skills/
