if fawad is gaining by being associated with kjo and dharma,in the same way dharma and kjo are benefiting from their alliance with fawad be it for this role or the massive fan following he has within and outside india. it's a give and take situation. kjo is not naive to cast someone without doing his homework. his mom may be a fan of fawad but that aint the only reason kjo cast fk in k&s

Exactly! What is the backing here giving Fawad a role no one wanted? It was Fawad's performance and the director's handling of the subject that made it work. Only thing is Dharma has been fair to Fawad during the promotion and neither did they cut his role to prop up KJo's students as everyone expected so credits to them for that.
It's not as Fawad got a hit director or a high budget film to showcase him. Nor is KJo lining up work for him like he did for Alia and Sid by getting out the original choices and offering co productions. Even if Fawad gets any more work with Dharma it's because he made a film work which no one in the trade give a chance. Even for K&S Fawad was expected to give a good opening overseas which he did as this film is the biggest overseas opener this year.
Even in ADHM he has given Fawad a supporting role. Looking at the synopsis it's obvious it won't work with Indians in India. So he is making sure that the Pakistani diaspora has a reason to watch the movie apart from the characters being Pakistani. So no way is KJo backing him out of turn. Fawad comes with talent, good looks and a fan following which benefits the films that stars him.

Your analysis is always point on. I agree with everything you said. It's sad that people fail to understand the dynamics. KJo and Shakun had already given up on the script when FK got signed. Sure FK got his second movie but Kjo also got a chance to develop this film. In the end I am glad everything worked out. This will be dharma's first hit after many flops and FK's role was loved by crtics and audience. It was remarkable that Dharma and Fox involved Fawad for every promotional event considering the fact that Shiv Sena has been quite active this year. I applaud them for doing so.

i think people here are misunderstanding my point, i did not mean to say that Karan is doing a favor to Fawad. I have sen Fawad's work before also, but i really felt that his performance in KNS is class apart.
Fawad deserves some great films head, i was just very excited with the news of him doing a solo film for Karan's production.

seems like Karan still has faith in Sid. Hope he doesn't snub Sid the way he snubbed Imran khan and even his long time favorite Kareena. Karan is very cunning though, only understands business.




he is doing business not charity

he is still on good terms with kareena

and you don't mix business with friendship

any business man will do stuff which gives success..cannot blame him for not taking kareena any more or imran coz they gave him back to back flops..ANY business man will do that..they aren't doing charity

can't blame him there

i am not blaming karan, but he was too fond of kareena so it is very hard to believe that she was given that ridiculous item song and not a good film from his side.

I have seen his work..not the film but the dramas. He is over-rated, even in Pakistan. If he couldn't impress me in dramas which had good stories, I doubt he would impress me in over-rated films like Kapoor & Sons.
Anyways...not everyone can turn out to be a Fawad fan like the majority of BW forum..right?



Honestly when I started watching ZGH, I was not impressed in the first few episodes but Fawad's character and his acting grew on me. Despite being his fan since the lat 2 years, I was pleasantly surprised with what he has done in K&S. He surpassed my expectation.

Agree with you that not all can be a Fawad fan, but people should stop judging him by his good looks alone!

whats there to replace sid ? Fawad has done only one film with KJO, whereas Sid has done 99% of films with KJO. KJO will never promote any actor the way he has promoted the SOTY kids.

Kjo has found a good business investment in Fawad. Fawad is good looking, good actor, and loved by masses. Fawad also promises good overseas collection. Why wouldn't KJo the shrewd businessman utilize this opportunity?

And no he hasn't replaced Sid or any other SOTY kids. He is still offering them movies.
