Pakistani showbiz stars are no less talented than their counterparts in any other part of the world. That’s how some people think. So lately a couple of international film producers and directors (not from India, mind you) are taking interest in our actors.

News is that singer and actor Ali Haider has been offered a role by a Hollywood director in a film which has Pakistani characters in it. Till last reports came in, Ali H was still contemplating the offer. Yes please, keep doing that. It helps.
