Singer, musician and music composer Adnan Sami will make his acting debut in the movie ‘Afghan – In Search of a Home’.
The story of the film revolves around an Afghan refugee who is forced to leave his land and ends up in a shelter in India.
“Afghan is a very special film for me. The film is the story of an Afghan refugee and musically it is such an interesting film. The score of the film has given me the opportunity to experiment with various styles — whether it is Afghan folk or different Indian musical genres. For me, it is like I am a little kid in a candy shop who is bubbling with excitement to grab everything.” Adnan said in a recent interview.
“My character in the film goes on a journey to rise again like a phoenix. As an actor also, it was an interesting space for me to explore. We shot the film in various beautiful places like Kabul, Bamyan, Herat, Delhi, Amritsar, Varanasi… So, the canvas of the journey is huge,” said Sami.
According to director of the film Radhika Rao,
“He (Adnan) is a royalty from Afghanistan and even his forefathers are from there. We were discussing what happens to the war zone countries in terms of their art, culture. Places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria are culturally rich countries. What usually happens in war zone countries is museums are locked, films are not being allowed to be made. So, there is no art and culture.”
