Playing a Cop in Her Pher:
Before Eshal Fayyaz, notable Lollywood actresses such as Saba Qamar, Rabia Butt, Ayesha Omar, and many other Lollywood actresses in the past have embraced the role of a female cop. Recently, Ayesha Omar, in particular, took on the character of a Female Investigative Police Officer in Abu Aleeha’s film ‘Kukri.’
Observing behind-the-scenes shots from the forthcoming film ‘Her Pher,’ it becomes evident that Eshal Fayyaz is stepping into the role of a Police Inspector. This development has generated excitement, hinting at the possibility of witnessing a formidable leading lady in a law enforcement role. In an interview, we probed Eshal about her portrayal of a police inspector and the challenges she encountered while striving to execute the role impeccably.
She added:
Playing a police officer in “Her Pher” was a thrilling experience. While I bring my own touch to the character, the film has its unique narrative. Expect a strong, determined female cop, but with a twist that sets her apart.
She also expressed that “Stepping into the role of a cop, especially following the precedents set by talented actresses like Saba Qamar and Ayesha Omar, was a challenge I embraced. It pushed me to bring something fresh to the character while respecting the groundwork laid by these brilliant performers.”
About Kaaf Kangana and pairing with Umer Aalam in Her Pher:
Eshal Fayyaz marked her cinematic debut in Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar’s directorial film, “Kaaf Kangana.” Despite the film’s underperformance at the box office, Eshal garnered significant attention for her standout performance. In “Kaaf Kangana,” she portrayed the character of an Indian girl, showcasing her talent and leaving a lasting impression on the audience. She is now making a big comeback on Silver Screen with Abu Aleeha’s Her Pher and paired with Umer Aalam.
We at Lollywood Pictures asked her why she took it so long to sign another film and she added to it like that;

More About Her Pher:
“Her Pher” stands as an upcoming action-comedy film currently in the midst of its initial shooting phase in Karachi, with the second spell scheduled to commence in Lahore, Islamabad, and later in Nathia Gali.

This shift in focus adds a unique dimension to the narrative, setting “Her Pher” apart from its predecessor.
Anticipated to hit cinemas worldwide on Eid Ul Fitr, the action comedy film “Her Pher,” written and directed by Abu Aleeha, promises an entertaining cinematic experience. The Urdu language version of the film is slated for release in Karachi Circuit Cinemas, while a Punjabi dubbed version will be presented in cinemas across Punjab and overseas.
