Celebrity, socialite, and fashionista, Syed Saim Ali, is multifaceted to say the least. He attends morning shows in the mornings (of course), book launches during the afternoon, and rubs shoulders with the rich and famous at launches and premieres in the evening.

The master of all trade's next destination was predictably the big screen.

Hijrat!

Ali has always had great working relationship with veteran director and producer, Farouq Mengal. The actor tells HIP about his special appearance in the film:

"I'll be making a guest appearance in one of the most important songs of the film. It is being sung by Ali Azmat, and can be referred to as an item songs, as it has a very catchy tune. It features myself, and models, Rubab Ali and Uzma Pervez."

Not only that, the multi-talented actor has also signed Mengal's second cinematic venture which he said will be complete opposite to Hijrat. Mengal's untitled next will be a political satire tracing the journey of a young politician.

Tum Hi Tou Ho!

Renowned actress, Sangeeta, will mark her comeback as a director with upcoming rom-com, Tum Hi Tou Ho. Here is what Ali had to say regarding his role and the film:

"It's a love story with lots of fun elements in it; glitz, gloss, and glamour. The story shows the lives of a couple of students in a college. As far as my character is concerned; let's just say a typical Pashto heroine starts to fancy me because of a certain incident and what happens there after is anybody's guess."

I'm paired opposite Urooj, and the song is sung by none other than Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab. I just finished shooting for it in Turkey, and I'm super excited for this one," said Ali.

The film features the likes of Maira Khan, and Asad Zaman in leading roles. In fact, the cast also includes actors from Istanbul! Scheduled to release later this year, we can surely keep our fingers crossed!
