Bollywood movies are being offered to many Pakistani actors and actress nowadays. Some actors have entered the industry and failed while other have made their mark. Ali Zafar is one such example who has become successful in Bollywood. Other actors like Humayun Saeed and Sara Loren have failed to make their mark in B-Town.
We heard the news of Fawad Khan and Imran Abbas Naqvi opting for Bollywood movies some time back. The latest news is that Arij Fatima has also been offered a Bollywood movie opposite Shahid Kapoor. This news came as a surprise because Arij is still a newcomer in the Pakistani industry. Bollywood filmmakers have seen that there is immense talent in Pakistan and are keen to give Pakistani actors a chance in B-Town. Some actors like Fawad Khan, Ali Azfar and Imran Abbas Naqvi choose to pursue their Bollywood career while other actors like Saba Qamar, Mahira Khan and Shamoon Abbasi remained content with their acting career in Pakistan, and chose to decline the Bollywood offers.
Pakistani movie industry is slowly reviving and we need all our talented actors here. Now let’s see if Arij Fatima will opt for Bollywood or not!
