Renowned singer and entertainer Chahat Fateh Ali Khan has taken a bold step to expand his footprint in Pakistan’s showbiz landscape by launching a new acting academy, adding to his already established music training institute.
With a focus on identifying and cultivating untapped talent, Chahat emphasized his commitment to supporting aspiring performers who lack access to formal training.
“There are so many passionate individuals out there who simply need guidance,” he said. “My goal is to refine that passion into professional excellence.”
What sets the newly opened academy apart is its strong emphasis on language and voice training. Students will begin their journey by mastering articulation, intonation, and emotional expression—skills essential for powerful performances on stage and screen.
“We’re offering instruction in Urdu, English, and Punjabi,” Chahat explained. “Fluency in these three languages is crucial for any actor hoping to thrive in Pakistan’s diverse entertainment industry.”
The curriculum promises a comprehensive blend of vocal discipline, dramatic expression, and cultural nuance, distinguishing the academy as a rare and specialized institution in the local performing arts scene.
In tandem with this educational initiative, Chahat announced the upcoming theatrical release of his debut film, The Darling. Slated to screen in approximately 50 cinemas across the country, the movie marks his first commercial feature despite completing an earlier, unreleased film two years ago.
“The Darling is an emotionally compelling story with standout performances,” he shared confidently. “I believe it will resonate with a wide audience.”
Chahat also plans to leverage his strong social media presence to spotlight rising stars from both his music and acting schools.
“I’m creating a platform where new talent can shine in front of thousands,” he said. “In time, I envision producers coming directly to us in search of the next big name.”
While his growing influence has brought admiration from fans, Chahat acknowledged facing criticism from some within the music community. Despite the pushback, he remains focused on his mission: shaping the future of entertainment in Pakistan, one star at a time.
