Pakistani TV star Imran Abbas (who is known by his full name in India as Imran Abbas Naqvi) is making quite a few waves in Bollywood. He has recently been quoted as feeling happy about the fact that his Pakistani television plays will also be aired on an Indian channel which runs Pakistani shows. He believes now Indian audiences will recognise his talent in a better way as there is still some time left before his first film Creature, with the super-sizzling Bipasha Basu as his love interest, sees the light of day.

Well, Imran A, to be honest, your TV plays and film will have the same actor performing in them.
