Film on ‘Bunyan al-Marsoos’: Who’ll Play Aurangzeb Ahmed?

KARACHI: After the success of Pakistan armed forces against the Indian aggression, renowned Pakistani director Nabeel Qureshi has expressed interest in making a film on the recent defensive operation “Bunyan al-Marsoos.”

The film will focus on the role of Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed, who has become the national heart throb due to his quirky, strong responses to India and charm. His bold briefings are going viral on social media, earning him national hero status.

On social media, fans have started suggesting actors who could play Aurangzeb’s role in the film on Bunyan al-Marsoos, with Fawad Khan topping the list due to his resemblance to the real-life officer.

However, some users objected, saying Fawad Khan has worked in Indian films and the role should go to an actor who has only worked in Pakistani cinema.

In response, Qureshi reacted with a thumbs-up emoji, choosing to remain silent.

Pakistan Air Force Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed has become the most popular Pakistan Air Force officer, whose profile is being searched the most on the internet.

A single sentence by Pakistan Air Force Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed going viral on social media:

“I am Air Vice Marshal, and I will start from where I left off… Pakistan Air Force 6, Indian Air Force 0.” has made him a national heartthrob in an instance.

He uttered this sentence at the start of a late-night press briefing on Operation Bunyan al-Marsoos, after which social media was flooded with memes, video clips and laudatory posts.
