Is drama on the runway getting old for model Adeel Rizvi? She's signed on to make her acting debut in Sahir Lodhi's action packed thriller Raasta.

We saw a glimpse of her in the recently released trailer of the film, where it's obvious that she plays a doctor:

Abeer confirms this, "I play a doctor who is very committed to her profession yet a highly passionate woman who ends up falling in love."

The film also stars Sahir Lodhi, Shamoon Abbasi, Naveed Raza, Aijaz Aslam, Sana Fakhr and former model Saima Azhar. According to Azhar's earlier interview with Images, she and Sahir play the lead roles in the film.

About her first-time acting experience, Abeer said, "Acting was more fun than I thought it would be. I actually felt quite at home and relaxed. So while it was challenging as a new profession, it was also a lot of fun."

She hopes to keep up the acting gigs:

"I have always wanted to branch into acting. I knew I had an actress in me and that I would be good at it. I'm looking forward to my future projects, and hopefully you'll see me on the big screen soon."
