Faisal Ahmad Sheikh, a 20-year-old from Bandipora, has been selected by Mumbai-based production house Taha Film International, marking a significant step in his dream to become a Bollywood actor.
Known for his social media content recreating Bollywood scenes, Faisal earned recognition through his hard work and persistence.
However, the lack of platforms initially made the path difficult. Over time, social media emerged as an outlet, enabling him to showcase his talent.
Faisal began uploading videos to social media, focusing primarily on villain roles, which he says are his preferred characters. Despite limited support in the first three years, he remained persistent and confident that his hard work would eventually pay off.
Faisal expressed gratitude to Taha Film International for recognizing his efforts and to the public for supporting him throughout his journey.
He credits his success to persistence and dedication and said that challenges should not deter anyone from pursuing their dreams. “If you work hard with sincerity, success will come. It might take time, but your efforts will always pay off,” he told.
He advised youth to avoid harmful actions and focus on positive contributions that gain widespread support. “Whatever you are going to do, do it with an open heart. Don’t do anything wrong or hurt our religion, our youth, or our nation. Work hard and contribute positively to society,” he stated.
He also encouraged those who are still struggling, said, “It’s not that if your number hasn’t come today, it will never come. If you are working hard, your hard work will definitely bear fruit.”
Notably, Sheikh is widely recognized for his unique re-creations of Bollywood movie roles and his original videos featuring iconic movie dialogues and sounds.
He gained significant attention and built a substantial audience when he portrayed a role from the film Tango Charlie.
His ability to mimic famous movie characters and scenes has made him a social media sensation, drawing viewers who appreciate his dedication to the craft—(KNO)
