Ever since master actor Naseeruddin Shah worked with Pakistani director Shoaib Mansoor he seems to have taken a shine to Pakistani film directors. These days he is working in another Pakistani film titled Zinda Bhaag and has found the experience quite fulfilling.

Talking to an Indian journalist recently Naseerudin S said, “I shot for this film in Lahore and now I have realised that there will be great films coming from Pakistan. There are great, young filmmakers there, who want to make a difference. And I think, we as an industry, always think ourselves to be superior, but now we really need to introspect.”

Well, Naseer sahib, tell you what: you are way too kind.
