Zafar Abbasi Ghazi's character was played by Major-General Abdullah Mehmood in Alpha Bravo Charlie. The series was a Shoaib Mansoor masterpiece and it was produced in collaboration with the ISPR.
Timeless talent: Cast of Dhoop Kinare and Alpha Bravo Charlie then and now
The drama, starring Faraz Ahmed, Kashif Kirmani and Gulsher Khan as captains Faraz Inam, Abdullah Mehmood and M Qasim Khan, set a record for Television Rating Points (TRPs) in Pakistan. It depicted the bond of these three captains, all of whom belonged to different backgrounds.
Apart from action — due to Pakistan Army’s military operational involvement in the Bosnian War and Siachen conflict — the drama also involved romance and comedy. The female lead role of Shahnaaz Khawaja was well executed by Shahnaaz Sher who had a special connection to all three friends. She was the first cousin of Abdullah and the love interest of Faraz but ended up getting marrying Qasim.
Timeless classics that pay tribute to Pakistan's armed forces
The drama is regarded as one of the best productions in the history of Pakistan’s television.
