Pakistan’s ban on Hindi films

Fawad khan Abir Gulal There is a clear “innocent” love story. However, when feelings like love, faith and idealism are working on the test of time, it is best to remember the love story at some other time, some other timelines. And perhaps, with some other actor.
Asked if Bollywood saw him as a threat, Fawad Khan said …
Fawad Khan made his debut in a supporting role in social drama, God (2007), one of Pakistan’s highest grossing films. His Bollywood debut was expected to be around the same time, but it was delayed after the 26/11 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

Within a very short time, Fawad Khan created his own place in the Hindi film industry.
In an earlier interview, Pakistani actor and comedian Ahmed Ali Butt asked Favad whether his presence in the Hindi film industry was seen as a threat.
“You have made a lot of friends in India, but it has come to the point where you were being compared to big names. Is it away from many big dogs? Ali Zafar, Mahira Khan and you were being offered lead roles in one of the world’s largest industries. Do you think it was very soon to be a threat to you?” The host asked.
Fawad Khan said, “This is such a huge question. I got a lot of love from India, but see, every industry has its own politics. But it is easy to compete in your industry. I am not saying that it is unheard, I am sure it is everywhere.”
Talking about his equation with his representatives, Fawad said, “One thing was, I had PR, and they used to get angry at it … I was so, ‘I need to take out your name, it was not kept there.”

Say the time, politics, or sheer sentiments of the nation hurt by Pakistan’s repeated terror attacks, Khan’s films are included in the cross-political powerplay. He is mostly considered as a romantic hero; But his films have become a battleground of conflicting interests.
The changing political discourses between India and Pakistan will determine the fate of Pakistani films. But for now, Fawad Khan’s fate in India is sealing Abir, GulalAnd blood fell into the initiative.
