Hamza Ali Abbasi came to our screens after a long, long time as he interviewed Prime Minister Imran Khan. Mind you, that the actor had bid farewell to the showbiz industry last year. Then he kinda stated that he might be working on some projects. The actor also holds a reputation for getting quite political from time to time. Anyway, it was quite a pleasant surprise to see him in an exclusive interview with Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Hamza Ali Abbasi started by asking how Imran Khan is as a person, besides being the Prime Minister of the country
Imran Khan talked about his cricketing career, his close observation of western culture, and his journey back to religion.
The actor also asked if PM Imran Khan would be investing in producing worthwhile Pakistani content, instead of just suggesting Turkish series
Imran Khan said that he wanted the Turkish series ”Ertugrul” to be shown in Pakistan, to show all the content makers that a show with Islamic values can be immensely popular as well.
PM Imran Khan also talked about the rapid spike of COVID cases in Pakistan and says that he will prevent political processions for that very reason
Also, he believes tourism could considerably boost up the revenue of the country
Anyway, a lot was discussed during the interview conducted by Hamza Ali Abbasi. And now, Pakistanis can’t help but share their thoughts.

Some people questioned why Hamza Ali Abbasi was interviewing PM Imran Khan
In what capacity this actor took interview of the PM Imran? Isn’t this favouritism?

Overall, people seemed to be rather disappointed
@ImranKhanPTI Choosing interviews with people he can repeat the old mantras with. For years and years its the same, west, east, society and cricket. He just wants to be liked. Choosing the same tactics as modi. Thats low.#ImranKhan #HamzaAliAbbasi #Volunteers
