"Though I'm not allowed to speak about the project or my character, but I play the protagonist in Project Ghazi. It's basically an action film, and is about to go on floors in a few days."[7] Later Syra Shehroz, vetern actor Talat Hussain and Aamir Qureshi were also roped in to play complex characters, and Adnan Jaffar was cast to play the main antagonist in the Film.[8] Humayun Saeed was later cast to play the role of Colonel Salaar in a lead role.[9][10][11]
