Exclusive - Altamash Faraz wishes to surprise fans with comedy roles, says he enjoys satirical and light-hearted scenes

Altamash Faraz, who has always impressed fans with his layered performances, is now eager to try out a whole new side of his acting range. The actor is mostly known for playing serious and emotional roles, but he would love to surprise fans by doing comedy on screen.




While talking about whether he would be open to doing a full-fledged comedy project, Altamash made it clear that comedy is something he has always enjoyed, even if he hasn’t had many chances to do it. “Oh yes, I would love to do a project that is full-fledged comedy, as I've always loved to do comedy. Whenever I had the opportunity in my previous shows and projects to do a comedy scene, I thoroughly enjoyed that,” he said.




He further explained that comedy scenes have always been something he looks forward to, and he feels confident about his natural sense of timing when it comes to humour. “I really look forward to such scenes because I've been told, and as I've seen myself performing, I think I have very good comic timing. I really enjoy doing comedy,” Altamash added.




The actor also pointed out an important challenge in the industry, mentioning that comedy content is still not explored enough in Indian television. “But it's just that we don't have a lot of comedy scenes in TV shows in India. But I would love to do anything that is related to comedy, full-fledged comedy, and even satirical kind of comedy, I love doing that,” he said.




When asked about his preference between a serious romantic drama and a light-hearted comedy series, Altamash admitted that romantic dramas still hold a special place in his heart. “It's a tough pick, but I would always be inclined towards serious romantic dramas because I've always been a die-hard fan of the kind of romantic stories that come out. I've watched almost all the romantic series and films that come out. So that's one of my most favourite genres,” he shared.




He also added that romance comes naturally to him as a performer and is something he connects with deeply. “I feel that I perform romantic scenes very well. So, I think I have the inherent romantic fanatic inside me, who loves to perform those kinds of scenes. They come naturally to me,” Altamash said.




Wrapping up his thoughts, the actor mentioned that while romance remains his top preference, he is also open to experimenting with other genres in the future. “But, I would also say that after the romantic dramas, both action and comedy would be my second pick,” he concluded.
