Early life and career
Abbas studied architecture at the National College of Arts in Lahore. He also writes Urdu poetry.[4] His family settled in Lahore, Pakistan[5] after the independence in 1947.[6] Abbas entered into Pakistani dramas and then became very popular through Pakistani[7] telefilms, soaps and films. He has recently stepped into the Indian film industry Bollywood.[8][9] He made his Lollywood debut in 2013 with Yasir Nawaz's romantic drama Anjuman, a remake of the 1970 film of the same name, opposite Sara Loren, which was a commercial success.
Talking about his Bollywood career Abbas in an interview to The Express Tribune said; "I had been offered leading roles in Guzaarish, Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela and Aashiqui 2, but declined them as I was already signed to appear in Boss for Akshay Kumar's production, which unfortunately, did not materialize."[10]
Abbas later made his debut in Bollywood opposite Bipasha Basu in Vikram Bhatt's Creature 3D, for which he was nominated at Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut category.[11] In 2015, Abbas featured in Jaanisaar directed by Muzaffar Ali alongside Pernia Qureshi.[12] As of September 2015, Abbas has completed war thriller Abdullah: The Final Witness alongside Sadia Khan. The film was screened at the Cannes Film Festival, and is expected to release in 2016.[10]
