Syra Shahroz is ready to make her full-fledged cinematic debut with Chalay Thay Saath.
“I kept getting scripts I would like, but something about it wouldn’t sit right. This one just clicked because it’s not just revolving around one thing; it’ll shed light on love, friendship, and family values,” reveals the 27-year-old actress.
“I’ll be playing the role of Resham, a doctor by profession. People have these preconceived notions about doctors being serious or stuck in their ways, but she’s not like that. She’s fun-loving and adventurous, and the story is about her and her friends taking a trip up North.”
Think it sounds a little like Karachi Se Lahore? Not quite, says producer Beenish Umer.
“It’s not primarily a road trip movie; it’s like a travelogue but about everyday people like you and me. The dialogues are real; the story will start on a lighter note and get a bit more dramatic as time goes by but still rooted in reality,” shares Beenish.
Actress Mansha Pasha is also part of the ensemble cast and will play the role of a determined, headstrong woman named Tania.
“The film is a rom-com with hints of drama, a journey of self-discovery. It aims to reach out to audiences who understand the importance of disconnecting from the urban life cycle. It’s a story about relationships and their complexities, about getting out there and living for a change,” she shares.
“The movie won’t follow typical formulas developed by taking too much inspiration from Bollywood. Instead, it’s a film that will highlight Pakistani values.”
The cast of Chalay Thay Saath also includes other big names like Zhalay Sarhadi, Behroze Subzwari, Faris Khalid and Shamim Halai, among others.
