I Painted Samar Jafri — The Face Behind Pakistan's Most Anticipated Drama of 2026
When a New Star Rises — An Artist Takes Notice
In the world of Pakistani drama — certain moments announce themselves before the world is ready.
A teaser drops. Social media ignites. Celebrities flood the comments. Fans start counting days. And somewhere in the middle of all that excitement — an artist picks up a brush and starts paying very close attention to a face.
That is exactly what happened at alisketchez.pk when the first teaser of Raja London Ka hit screens in May 2026.
Popular singer and actor Samar Jafri unveiled a gripping new avatar, leaving both fans and celebrities buzzing over his intense transformation in the upcoming drama Raja London Ka. Entertales
Taking to Instagram, the young star shared the first teaser captioned with a powerful line: "Andheron ne pala hai usay, roshniyon se abhi hisaab baki hai... Chor. Lootera. Dhokebaaz. Ya phir... Raja London Ka." Entertales
That caption. That look. That energy.
A portrait artist cannot look away from something like that.
And so — we painted him. By hand. On premium canvas. With every brushstroke carrying the intensity, the darkness, and the raw power that Samar Jafri brings to Raja London Ka.
This is the story of that painting.
Who Is Samar Jafri — Pakistan's Most Exciting New Lead
Samar Jafri is a Pakistani actor, singer, and composer — known for his roles in the TV dramas Mayi Ri (2023), Na Baligh Afraad (2024), and Parwarish (2025). Favikon
Jafri began his career as a child actor, appearing in television commercials for brands such as Tiger Biscuits, Saniplast, Rooh Afza, and Horlicks — before making his first television appearance in 2014. Favikon
But 2026 is where everything changes for Samar Jafri.
Because Raja London Ka is not another drama. It is a statement. A transformation. A bold, fearless step into territory that Pakistani drama has rarely explored with this kind of cinematic intensity.
Celebrities including Kinza Hashmi, Nameer Khan, Reham Rafiq, and Nazish Jahangir were quick to flood the comments section of his teaser post — expressing admiration for his bold new look. Fans echoed the excitement, with one writing "Super crazy look! Can't wait," while another praised the drastic shift, calling it "insane" and unlike anything seen before. Entertales
When Pakistan's biggest celebrities and millions of fans react to a teaser with that level of excitement — an artist pays attention.
And alisketchez was watching very closely.

Raja. London Ka.
Three words that Pakistan is already saying everywhere. And a face — intense, complex, completely compelling — that alisketchez knew had to be painted.
The Painting — How alisketchez Captured Samar Jafri
Painting Samar Jafri for his Raja London Ka era presented a specific and extraordinary artistic challenge.
This is not a conventional leading man role. This is not a simple hero — straightforward, reassuring, easy to read. The character of Raja is layered and morally complex — described in his own teaser as "Chor. Lootera. Dhokebaaz. Ya phir... Raja London Ka." Entertales
A face that carries all of that — the darkness, the complexity, the power, the vulnerability beneath the intensity — requires an artist to look very deeply before the first brushstroke touches canvas.
Here is how we approached it:
👁️ The Eyes — Where Raja Lives
Samar Jafri's eyes in Raja London Ka carry something most young Pakistani actors take years to develop — controlled intensity. The ability to communicate enormous inner depth without overplaying, without melodrama, with just the eyes doing the work that lesser actors need entire scenes to achieve.
Those eyes were the starting point of this portrait. We worked on them until they felt like they were genuinely looking back — carrying the weight of a character who has been raised by darkness and has a debt to settle with the light.
🎨 The Colour Palette — Dark, Rich, Cinematic
Raja London Ka has a visual identity that is distinctly cinematic — dark tones, dramatic lighting, a mood that feels more like a film than a conventional drama. Our colour palette for this portrait reflected that entirely.
Deep, rich tones. Dramatic shadow and highlight contrast. A palette that captures not just Samar Jafri's features but the world his character inhabits — a world of power, danger, and moral complexity.
🖌️ The Technique — Signature Handmade Oil Painting
As with every portrait at alisketchez — this painting of Samar Jafri was created entirely by hand using our signature handmade oil painting technique on premium stretched canvas.
Professional-grade oil paints. Layers built up over hours of dedicated work. Every brushstroke deliberate. Every artistic decision intentional.
No printing. No digital shortcuts. No filters.
Real oil paint. Real canvas. Real human skill — and real artistic engagement with a subject that genuinely demanded our best work.
🎭 The Personality — Beyond the Character
Samar Jafri as Raja London Ka is extraordinary. But what makes this portrait complete is that it captures not just the character — but the actor behind the character.
The discipline of someone who began his career as a child actor and has been refining his craft for over a decade. The courage of someone willing to take a role this demanding and this different from anything he has done before. The talent of someone who makes celebrities and millions of fans stop in their tracks with a single teaser.
That is what we painted. And that is what makes this portrait something beyond a fan tribute.
