KARACHI: Renowned actor and producer Humayun Saeed has announced a nationwide talent hunt to discover the next generation of stars for Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, the Main Manto Nahi Hoon star invited “talented young individuals” eager to work both on screen and behind the scenes. The initiative aims to recruit assistant producers, assistant directors, line producers, art directors, production designers, writers, performers, singers, musicians, editors, VFX artists, and graphic designers.
Saeed said the program is designed to train participants for “diverse leadership roles” in the creative industry. Importantly, applicants do not require a formal education or prior arts background—program “passion and commitment” will be the key criteria, he noted. While fresh graduates are encouraged to apply, there is no age limit for the opportunity.
