Faisal Malik opens up on his journey in the series 'Panchayat', “The journey was fantastic. I don’t think we all had imagined this much success and love from the audience. I think all this was by the grace of God. I am thankful to him, and the people who have given this much love and affection (to us).”
Panchayat has been a breakout role for him and how things have changed after the show’s success, he stated, “It’s all changed because we didn’t even know in 2020 that this show would turn out like this. And it was during the Covid times, so we didn’t even know what was going on in the outside world. We got all the information from the Internet that people were praising the show. But, when we came out after Covid, we realised that the public knows each one of us, as in our characters. After that, Season 2 came, it doubled everything, and now with Season 3, you can see how well it is being received.”
“It was a very tough thing to do because it needed to be shot for 6-7 days. And, for the entire 6 months, I was reading it, thinking about what to do, when to do it, how I am going to do it. I had a lot of questions, and besides that, I didn't have the confidence that I would be able to pull it off. Then, I asked 1-2 people, because it was a very tough scene and its communication needed to be correct. It couldn't be too much or too little, it had to be just right. Only one line was given. Taking that emotion to that point was a little tough, but with hard work, I managed to do it somehow,” he added.
He emphasized the two scenes that really touched a chord with the audience and his favourite shot from it, “Actually, for the first scene, I didn't even know that it would become such a big hit. We did it, and I don't know how...sometimes on the set, just in 2-3 takes, everything turns out well. And for the other one (with Damyanti Devi), it required a lot of effort, using the right words for communication to convey that emotion and that thought. And, she is a very senior actor with whom I shot this scene. So, the scene where I took her to my home, that I really like.”
He will be next seen in 'Dedh Bigha Zameen.' His other films, 'Sab First Class Hai' by Balli Bhai (Balwinder Singh Janjua), and Jo Tera Hai Woh Mera Hai,' will be on JioCinema. And, he also has the Prime Video series 'Dating Shating'. Additionally, there's a Netflix series in his pipeline, and he have already done two more shows, but their names are not finalized yet.
