A rugged look with scruffy beard, Tariq Anam Khan once again will be seen in a negative role in a drama series titled “Face” which will start airing from today at 8:40pm on SATV.
In a conversation with the Dhaka Tribune, the renowned actor, who has made his marks in TV, theatre and cinema, shared about his ventures in “Face” and more:
Tell us about your role in “Face”?
In “Face,” I play Rahat who is a gangster involved with an international smuggling group. I hold different disguises and fake identities in several incidents to make the “wrong” things done. He can go any extend to achieve his target.
What is the story of Face?
The title suggests many different identities of a single person. I should not disclose the whole story in this point but all I can say, it is a thriller and action packed series. The audience will enjoy the turns and twists in every layer of the story. Every episode has the potential to grow curiosity among the audience to watch the next part.
Did you experiment with your looks?
I kept my hair short, but there were a lot more to do in my body language, my expressions, wearing a shoulder holsters to uphold an arrogant and angry look etc.
Reason behind regularly playing negative roles..
It is surprising for me as well that I am contineously being offered as a terrorist or a criminal. May be, it is because of my bad look, jokes apart. However, there is no such character that can be termed completely positive or negative. There is always many shades of gray in every character, and that is the beauty.
Which one do you prefer the most, TV or theatre?
Theatre is my passion. It is the source of inspiration for my acting. In theatres, there are rooms for learning while discussing, teamworking and analysing with enough time in hand. On the other hand, TV ensures more exposure and financial support for an actor which are absent in theatre.
What's coming next?
My film, “Desha” is scheduled to be released in Eid-ul-Adha.
