Adnan Sami debut as an actor; Shooting in Afghanistan

Singer-music composer Adnan Sami will be shooting in Afghanistan next year for his debut film Afghan In Search Of A Home as an actor.

Adnan will make his acting debut with Afghan In Search Of A Home directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru. He will be seen in the role of an Afghani musician. "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," said Radhika.

Both Radhika and Vinay believe the refugee story will resonate with the audience. "The story is about a musician from Afghanistan and what happens to his journey in finding his home. It is a heart- wrenching tale of an artiste," she adds.
