Pakistan heartthrob Fawad Khan has rebuffed rumours about signing a Yash Raj film opposite Bollywood siren Kareen Kapoor.
In an interview reported widely by the Indian press, Fawad clarified that he has been getting offers but nothing has been finalised.
With Fawad’s Khoobsurat all set to be released on September 19, the new heartthrob on the Indian film scene has become quite the centre of the media’s attention. When recently asked whether Ali Zafar is a competitor, Fawad said that that there is no comparison and neither should any be drawn.
Fawad said he doesn’t like the idea of the comparison between him and Ali Zafar.
Rather he praised Zafar and said that he had been a fan long before Zafar entered Bollywood.
Fawad said, “Ali has carved a niche for himself.”
He added, “He [ Ali Zafar] has his own things, his own way. I’m a new entrant and I have to give myself time to see how long I will last.”
Talking about his upcoming film, Fawad said that he is nervous about the audience’s response because he already has a huge fan following and their expectations from him are obviously high.

Pakistani actors and actresses are happy with B/C grade Indian film makers; Why?

Fawad says all right things to be a big star in future - he is genuinely a nice guy, it comes naturally to him and he doesn't need to make efforts like other big stars do to appear nice. Good luck.

Pakistan dramas are an enormous success. They offer depth, culture, society as it should be not the "Bollywood in Your Face". I hope Pakistani actors do some solid movies which shows the depth of their acting, not movies like 'Dabang" or "Kick" or "Happy New Year". I wish them great success. I hope they never ever forget "Pakistan" is the land that gave them the education, the talent, the environment to nurture their capabilities. Always and always remember your country with fondness and gratitude. I also hope that Bollywood does not treat you the way they treated exceptional Singer Rahat Fateh Ali. He was framed. My best wishes!

@Javed What is wrong with you people, when anyone in Pakistan makes progress, you guys get jealous. Get a life, try to praise things. Life will be better.

@Javed ..he will start with B and then get to A. That's how it happens. You want him to get a 100 crore deal with Kareena just because he is Pakistani? It's merit based, friend. Don't get national honor involved in this.

@Naveed Khan Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was detained at Delhi's IGI Airport for attempting to leave the country with over $124,000. Indian laws allow up to $5,000 in cash, or US$ 10,000 in traveller's cheques, to be taken abroad.
Now whether this is an outdated law or not is not the point here. When you are in country X, follow that country's laws.
He was fined Rs 15 lakh under Foreign Exchange Management Act and Customs Act, which he had to pay immediately to have his money, passport and other documents returned(probably he did)

@javed.. Grow up man.. Its not a b-grade movie.. It might be a low budget movie but no way near a B grade. Those movies are totally different. And he's new to bollywood. We should be glad atleast our stars are breaking into the global cinema. I wish em good luck.

@javed.. bro Ali Zafar in yash raj movie, Mere brother ki dulhan. Top production house and A lister actress. If you want him to work with the Khans, I'd prefer him to work solo than do a meager role in any Khan movie. His next is also with yash raj banner and ranveer singh. Plus Chashme badoor was directed by David Dhawan, an A lister comedy director. Moreover, Fawad Khan's movie is a Disney and Anil Kapoor Production. Still better than Veena Malik.
