As Sony SAB's magnum opus gets ready for a grand launch, Sheezan Khan talks about his momentous journey to Alibaba in Alibaba Dastaan E Kabul.

Sheezan Khan will play Alibaba in fantasy adventure Alibaba Dastaan-E Kabul 





In a chat ahead of the launch of the new show,  Sheezan Khan calls the character of Ali a survivor in true sense.

Despite going through a tough phase in his personal life, Sheezan was optimistic that things would change for him.

Apart from romancing the beautiful Mariam, Sheezan performs his own stunts and is very popular on the set as the prankster. It is almost like he was destined to be Alibaba. It was only a matter of time before he got his big break as the spectacular Ali who will be rewriting the history of Kabul with his charm and prowess.

 Sony SAB’s magnum opus Alibaba- Dastaan-E-Kabul is all set for its grand launch. The show that is amped up on a grand scale is touted to be television’s biggest family entertainer and will grace our television sets very soon taking viewers through the dusty roads of Kabul and Alibaba’s quest to greatness. As the charismatic Alibaba, the suave and handsome Sheezan Khan  is all set to mesmerize viewers not just with his looks but with his talent too.

Sheezan’s journey to become Alibaba wasn’t an easy one. Apart from going through some rigorous physical change, a certain mental inhibition also had to change with this new avatar.

Talking about how he bagged the role of Ali after the long search by the makers who auditioned over 170 actors for this character, Sheezan said “I was looking for the right role when Alibaba Dastaan-E-Kabul came to me, or rather I was drawn to it by destiny. I was going through a lull period of my acting career as nothing that came to me really excited me, I was eagerly looking for a good break, when I just randomly called a casting director enquiring for any good opportunities and he told me auditions were on for the role of Alibaba. In that very instant something in my heart felt that this was going to be mine.”

Sheezan worked on his body to get the required physique to match the character of Alibaba, gaining muscle strength to fit the look and a grueling effort to pick the nuances of the character.

Talking about his preparations for the role,Sheezan said,'“I had to unlearn a lot of things in terms of acting and how I present myself on screen. I went through a series of mock shoots post the first round of auditions. I was asked to change a lot of things including the way I delivered my dialogues. So much so that at one point I doubted my own work, but I gathered myself because I knew this was my time to shine and I had to put in every ounce of effort to get it right.

I would stay up all night and practice in front of the mirror, delivering dialogues, practicing the walk, and my expressions. Finally, when I got the call to meet with the director, I was almost sure that I had lost this role, because self-doubt can be really insidious sometimes. However, destiny had some other plans, and I was chuffed to finally bag this role”

Alibaba Dastaan-E Kabul will launch soon on Sony SAB.
