You must have watched one of those dramas where you get a mini-crush on this handsomely stubborn character, right? Altamash of "Anaa" portrayed by the talented Usman Mukhtar is one of those characters for me. He stands out for his complexity and intrigue. Being a man of contradictions, he always leaves his viewers asking for more.
On the surface, Altamash appears as the quintessential charmer. He is handsome, well-dressed, and possesses a confident swagger that draws attention. He's also the heir to a wealthy family, further enhancing his aura of privilege. However, Altamash's charm masks a deeper layer of uncertainty and emotional baggage as he harbors resentment towards societal expectations.
Mukhtar's portrayal of Altamash is nuanced and captivating. He masterfully captures the character's conflicting emotions, showcasing Altamash's vulnerability beneath his confident facade. His performance is particularly strong in scenes where Altamash grapples with internal turmoil, showcasing a depth of emotion that draws viewers into his character arc. His manipulative tendencies are chillingly effective. He conveys the character's darkness without resorting to caricature, making Altamash a believable and complex antagonist. Despite his flaws, Altamash remains a captivating figure. His struggle to find his own path and reconcile his conflicting desires is relatable on a human level.
Another of the most compelling aspects of Altamash is his relationship with Izza, one of the female protagonist. Initially, their bond is fueled by mutual attraction and a desire to defy societal norms. However, as their relationship progresses, Altamash's true nature begins to unravel. He struggles to express his feelings openly, often resorting to manipulation and emotional blackmail.
Usman Mukhtar's performance as Altamash is undoubtedly one of the highlights of "Anaa." A grey character like Him is not so easy to pull off and yet Usman breathes life into this complex character, making him both alluring and repulsive. Through his portrayal, Mukhtar has truly delivered a memorable performance while sparking important conversations about masculinity, family dynamics, and the pressures of social expectations.
Watch "Anaa" to know Altamash better. Till then, watch this short clip.
And oh, he smiles...
