Ok and it seems both are unreleased and their fates are yet to be decided. So lets see if this was good decision or not. But I guess Fk is not much interested in doing romantic dramas anymore as this show premise is primarily a love story.

Ok Shreya I will call you Anthony Gonsalves then. You can call me Payel. 😆

Oh ok, so utv is still headed by siddharth roy kapoor it seems though disney has taken over. Interesting business plans they have. Yes they are surely putting effort to propmote Fawad as in print and social media which I was not expecting.

Regarding him going back there and start doing what he does best, yes I agree he has that back up and he is still the most popular and loved actor of that country. There are rumours he may do films there too. I just hope he does not fade into oblivion by taking some weird decisions. I do not want him to get wasted. Bollywood and its cut thoroat competition can break you completely. He better knows how to cope with it. Having said that, still keeping my fingers crossed for the film for his sake.

Oh yes UTV still has SidRK. Just Ronnie Screwwala and his wife took the money and left and have started their charity or some such thing. Just basically enjoying retirement.

@ starstruck, yes I also do feel he has that tendency to go for unusual stuff to break the mould of those suave, urbane, lover boy roles. But unfortunately audience never liked him in those different avtars and as a result they never gave the revenues. Sad for the creative satisfaction part. And I think audience have this crazy obcession with him romancing onscreen woth particular people which he surely wants to be avoid.

Regarding him telling you have to do projects for money at times, I will say its a blunt confession and I think its true though. At times you have to let go of that creative satisfaction to be rich. He gave money 10 on 10 in that mahira show as it is surely imp for practical life. 😆 lets see if there is any other project he is going to conform doing post khoobsoorat release. I do think there is some.

I feel Fawad does have a problem with saying yes to romantic shows. He did not want to take up Humsafar initially. He said no a few times...he didn't find the concept appealing. He even said that if he has done something like Humsafar once, he wouldn't wanna do it again..but he also said of course, there comes a time when you have to say yes to some projects because you need to earn money as well. A lot of the shows which he has rejected are more or less romance..except for Shukk which fell into some weird category of its own. 😆

That's why he has taken up shows like Akbari Asghari, Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan, Numm and Ashk..I think he tries doing the unusual...but then audiences also have typecasted him. There's a reason why Dastaan/Humsafar/ZGH are his most popular shows.

Which again explains his decision to go for BW. If successful BW provides actors with better variety. I guess in Pakistan he is kinda stuck. He has to either do romantic shows or unsuccessful shows.
But the way Sonam and co are presenting Fawad even Khoobsurat seems like a romantic film ie if you assume they have changed the original. The focus has hardly been on the actress playing Fawad's mom...rather its on Sonam and Fawad.

I don't think we'll be seeing Sanam Saeed and Fawad onscreen again anytime soon.

However, Sanam Saeed signed a show with Imran Abbas recently for Humtv. Fawad on the other hand hasn't signed anything yet..at least nothing is confirmed.

I do hope we see her doing something in India. Not TV serials...maybe something like 24 or perhaps a movie. She is a fabulous actress.

In terms of Pakistani shows..he rejected:

- Mata e Jaan (went to Adeel Hussain)

- Shukk (went to Adeel Hussain)

- Bin Roye Aansoo (went to Humayun Saeed..this show will release soon though)

- There's this pending project called Mol which someone wrote a script with keeping Fawad, Mahira and Sanam Baloch in mind..Fawad supposedly said no to that.

Bin Roye Aansoo was offered to Sanam Baloch, Fawad and Mahira..only Mahira accepted it. There's supposedly ANOTHER show where a writer wrote a script for Fawad, Sanam Baloch, and Mahira..the script and director is final..but the cast is not.

And another thing..he rejected Humsafar two to three times before he finally accepted it.

Were Maat e Jaan and Shukk successful?

Yes bollywood does provide variety , but will it going to be given to an outsider? I have my apprehensions about that too.

Same here...esp someone with his philosophy of work will do the talking. In BW whether you work or not you have to shout and scream rather than talk(in the media). 😆
