Actor Manzar Sehbai is thankful to Allah for the opportunity given to act at his age. “I feel there’s no age for taking up any art. I feel I’m lucky to be given any offers at my age,” says Manzar who was seen in the Pakistani film ‘Bol’ last year and will now be seen in Hasnain Hyderabad directed ‘Ya Rab’. The film which was shot in Lucknow extensively talks about fighting superstitions in a traditional Muslim family. Starring Vikram Singh and Flora Saini, the film has Manzar playing an important part in the film, the character of a neuro-surgeon who’s just not a doctor but also a social crusader.Talking about his character in the film Sehbai says, “I’m not playing the role of just a doctor. I am also part of society and advice the characters in the film,” says Sehbai. Waiting for the shooting of another film to start in Lahore soon, Manzar will be giving company to actor Naseeruddin Shah on screen, in the film. “We are all waiting for Naseer Saab to come to Lahore and then we’ll begin shooting for this Pakistani film,” says Manzar who lives in Germany otherwise.Manzar, who says he’s not an actor, has been quite active on the German theatre scene. In his free time he also dabbles with writing which makes us wonder if he’ll ever take up direction. “No, I don’t think so,” says he. It’s too much for me to act and it’s not possible for me to do so many things. Direction is something which has to be given a lot of time and planning and I can’t do either.
