She talked about the process of reshaping her identity and immersing herself in this new cultural milieu.

Ilyas’s primary problem is that he grew a moustache when he was ten years old, which makes for awkward class pictures. The movie, which takes place in the mid-1990s, beautifully depicts the emotional agony of a young person who is confronted with what seems like an insurmountable, life-altering situation.

In January, Shafi shared a selfie of herself wearing a hijab and expressing her excitement for the movie, in which she is portraying a young adolescent. She commended her castmates Hasan Minhaj, Alicia Silverstone, and Atharva Verma and said that Mustache was a lovely movie.
