Why a Viral Uzair Baloch Interview Is Leaving Netizens Baffled

New Delhi, December 23, 2025: The cinematic success of Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar (2025) has led to an unexpected resurfacing of real-life history. While the film has been praised for its gritty portrayal of the Lyari gang wars, a 2012 interview featuring the actual gangster Uzair Baloch has gone viral once again. The footage has left millions of viewers in a state of shock—not because of the gangster’s presence, but because of the sheer audacity of the journalist, Noor-ul-Arifeen. As the clip spreads across X and Instagram, a singular, grim question is being asked by thousands: “Is this interviewer still alive?”

Questioning a “Don” in His Den

In the resurfaced clip, the journalist is observed sitting inside Uzair Baloch’s luxurious mansion, a stark contrast to the poverty-stricken streets of Lyari. Rather than sticking to safe, scripted questions, Noor-ul-Arifeen was seen launching a verbal offensive that few would dare to attempt.

The “Dhurandhar” Connection

The renewed interest in the 2012 footage is being attributed directly to the blockbuster film Dhurandhar, which stars Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna. In the movie, the character of Uzair Baloch is portrayed by actor Danish Pandor, whose performance has been described as “restrained and chilling.”

A Salute to Journalistic Bravery

The central theme of the viral discussion remains the safety of the reporter. In an era where “digital courage” is common, the sight of a man standing face-to-face with one of Pakistan’s most feared crime lords has left an impact. As 2025 ends, the viral interview remains a testament to the power of the press. While movies like Dhurandhar bring these stories to the big screen, it is the real-life courage of individuals like Arifeen that continues to captivate the public imagination.
