Deepak Perwani is a big designer from Pakistan and he is also a very successful actor. He is nowadays seen in the hit drama Qarz e Jaan and he sat on DigiTales podcast where he spoke about the fashion history of Pakistan, his influential family and his take on the drama and film industry of Pakistan.
Deepak Perwani said that our dramas are doing great but we are still backwards. He started by explaining that you cannot show red blood in a scene as it is prohibited by PEMRA. Many such restrictions are present for the drama industry and consequently hinder artistic expression. We end up making similar stories over and over again in order to not get banned from TV.
This is what he had to say:
Deepak Perwani is also a part of the fashion industry for over 30 years now and he has made costumes for many films and music videos. He shared that once he got a call in the middle of the night that the lead actor’s sherwani has been stolen. He had to get one of his own sherwani to get the shoot done. He also revealed that on this set, the actress kept saying that she will only dance with the hero and not with the guy who was playing the hero’s cousin. She was planning to change the whole script in order to compensate herself.
