KARACHI: Faisal Qureshi has chosen to stop being the jack of all trades to focus on direction—because that’s what he loves the most.

“You could say that my true passion is direction or just working behind the camera. I like conceiving the project and then making it… let it be movies, commercials, dramas or awareness campaigns,” he said on SAMAA TV’s morning show Naya Din

“If you act and direct too, it becomes hard to manage.”

Qureshi rose to fame by writing, directing and acting in comedy sitcoms and advertisements.

Ufone’s advertisements turned him into a mega star as he left the country in fits with his witty comedy in all his commercials.
