Mustafa Ahmed on Rizwan’s future after Hamza’s departure
In “Dhurandhar 2”, Rizwan is Hamza’s closest ally after Hamza becomes the “King of Lyari”. However, things take a turn when Hamza’s cover is blown, forcing him to return to India and leaving Rizwan behind. This development has fueled speculation about Rizwan’s next move without his trusted friend. Speaking about it in a Reddit AMA session, Mustafa said: “I would imagine Rizwan would pick up where Hamza left off. No one knows his identity and he has already placed himself in a very strong position to continue wiping out those left to fight. I’m sure he’s able to continue.”
Mustafa Ahmed reacts to fan theories about Rizwan Jameel Jamali
Fan speculation has linked Rizwan with Jameel Jamali (played by Rakesh Bedi), another Indian influencer embedded in Pakistan’s political landscape, and Mustafa seems to have hinted at this possibility while making a scathing remark about the country’s politics. When asked by a fan: “Are you the next king of Lyari now that Hamza is gone?” Mustafa replied, “Absolutely. Jameel Saab and I can take over Pakistan. And, in fact, they execute better than their politicians for their own good.“
Mustafa Ahmed on working with Ranveer Singh and future roles
At the AMAs, Mustafa talked about his experience working with Ranveer and said, “It’s not easy working with him. He only demands the best because he only gives you his best. He really helped me create Rizwan and made sure I always felt like him. That, for me, is something I will remember forever.” Before acting with Dhurandhar, Mustafa worked as a fitness trainer for celebrities like Ranveer Singh, Hrithik Roshan and Vicky Kaushal. Talking about her future in acting, she said that she is ready to explore more opportunities if significant roles are offered to her. “I am open to good roles that show not only my physicality but also my emotions. But action is of course my first love. A comedy would be nice. Playing a West Delhi boy or a jaat will be a lot of fun,” he added.
