He has also worked in Ashk and Zindagi Gulzar Hai. Lately, Fawad Khan’s hit movie The Legend of Maula Jatt created a buzz. The movie was an international hit and all the actors were loved across the globe.
In the podcast, Excuse Me with Ahmed Ali Butt, Fawad Khan replied to the questions of Ahmed Ali Butt about the success and stardom of Pakistani actors in India. He also talked about Pakistani actors being a threat for Indian actors.
To the question, “were Pakistani actors a threat to Indian actors?” Fawad Khan said, “It is a difficult question because I got a lot of love from India, also, I think that politics is everywhere but you can combat it better in your own country. I am not saying that it is unheard of, but I am the one who urged my PR team in India to remove my name from the places and not to put me on the map. I am quite a different person. I don’t agree with the fact that if you have a huge following on social media, you are loved; I believe, if you are exclusive, you will be loved more”
In the show he also talked about fetching the famous Indian film Khoobsurat with Sonam Kapoor. Talking about it, he said, “Yes, I gave a screen test for Khoobsurat, obviously, it happened because of Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai. I was open to grab that opportunity. I was not prepared for it, I just went with the flow. In all honesty, I was all open for any good opportunity that was coming my way. I enjoy the process of doing a project, if you enjoy the process the audience will see the project shining. I was not thinking about anything like Khoobsurat but I was just riding the waves. I really enjoyed working with the cast of Khoobsurat. It was a great experience. I have all positive things to talk about it.”
Talking about working in the film Kapoor and Sons, Fawad Khan said, “Kapoor and Sons was again very close project to my heart because of the same reason that the team was so good. Kapoor and Sons is a big film. Also, it offers you a great storytelling. I don’t get bored watching Kapoor and Sons, otherwise, I am the person who gets bored of watching his own projects”
