Ahad, Wahaj and Osman Starrer Alpha Bravo Charlie 2. Now, while we haven’t been able to get an official confirmation from any party involved we have been hearing certain whispers from industry insiders. Some say its a fresh new take on the classic Alpha Bravo Charlie making it a sequel of sorts, others say its an ISPR funded project on similar lines but not exactly like the cult show. But one thing is for sure, it is military fiction project with men in the army wardi.
As for the casting, yet again there are no official confirmations but certain names are being floated around. Ahad Alpha Bravo Charlie 2 is obviously the most talked-about member given the confirmation from DG ISPR himself, other names that are potentially a part of the project include Wahaj Ali, Osman Khalid Butt, and Ahmed Ali Akbar, but again no confirmations as such.
Alpha Bravo Charlie 2 We’ve already seen Ahad in an air force uniform in Parwaaz Hai Junoon, so we’re rather excited to see how he dons the army wardi. Wahaj Ali who has featured previously in Haiwan, Dil Nawaz and Hari Hari Chooriyan will also be part of the project. We don’t know yet of any female in a lead or supporting role.
This isn’t the first time the ISPR has created dramas for television. Action-packed thrillers and dramas dominated television screens in the form of Sunehre Din in 1991 and throughout the late 90s. Shahpar, PNS Ghazi have in the past earned remarkable success but Shoaib Mansoor’s Alpha Bravo Charlie went on to become a cult-favorite.
Many actors, some debuting and some oldies, have been part of these projects which have been assisted in writing, direction, production by the military. The ‘military fiction’ these roles have portrayed through its actors was able to resonate massively among the audiences. There was no cable at the time, no cellphones, no social media, and these television shows were all the rage.
Moreover in addition to producing television shows, ISPR has also been behind some of the big hits that have come out of Pakistani Cinema. Films such as Yalghaar, Waar and upcoming Kaaf Kangana are a few such projects
