Description:
Urwa is looking forward to wearing the numerous hats of an entrepreneur and producer after finishing a decade as an actor.
Urwa Hocane is still doing well in the regional film and television industry after beginning her career as a VJ on ARY Musik. She spent more than ten years as a well-known female performer, and she is now eager to don the many hats of an entrepreneur and producer. In an email exchange with The Express Tribune, Urwa described her development as a seasoned artist and her path to date.
While the Covid-19 epidemic drastically altered several sectors and career trajectories, Urwa had a very upbeat perspective on how the pandemic would affect the course of her career. "The epidemic really created new business prospects and endeavours in the digital space. In the fight against this natural epidemic, which also united the world, a creative aspect emerged "explained the Rangreza actor.
Despite the fact that the pandemic fundamentally altered the worldwide film and television business, it is regrettable that local television and film continue to depict the same storylines continuously with only slight actor and crew changes. Urwa has a firm opinion, supported by her years of successful work in the industry, when asked how she selects screenplays in offers replete with tales of extramarital affairs and domestic violence.
"I"ll be really honest here; while I enjoy acting, I"m not happy with the content. The current situation has resulted in scripts that are marginally superior to others, a team preference, or whatever is saving a sinking project. I have no idea what the content teams are forcing the authors to write or what they are actually writing. My heart is broken, "She spoke solemnly.
The performer hasn"t let the dearth of quality scripts stop her from succeeding in the business, either. On the other hand, Urwa started working on her debut production, the upcoming romantic comedy movie Tich Button, back in 2019. It is planned for release before the end of this year and stars Iman Ali, Farhan Saeed, Sonya Hussyn, and Feroze Khan. The Punjab Nahi Jaungi actor gave the following explanation of her motivation for making the switch from acting to story-telling through filmmaking: "What I feel is that I learned along the process. Since this is my first production, I have given the screenplay plenty of thought so that we will be completely certain of what we will be doing on set. I"ve always had a fascination for telling stories both in front of and behind the camera. In terms of telling stories, I never set boundaries. One day, I hope to direct as well.
Urwa concludes by giving the audience a last message and outlining her guiding philosophy. Nobody can do anything if God wishes to keep you safe, she remarked, adding, "Jisko Allah rakhay, usko kaun chakhay." This is the name I go by. Never give up. There will be difficulties, followed by the opportunity to enjoy their rewards. Therefore, maintain a strong sense of faith and adopt a positive viewpoint.
