After the much talked-about success of Fawad Khan and Ali Zafar’s relatively long stint in the Indian film industry (and a couple of not so successful attempts by other Pakistanis) here’s someone who has all the makings of a successful film actor.

His name is Faizan Khawaja and he will soon be seen in a film titled Bankster, directed by Azaan Khan, the son of the heartthrob of the ’80s Zeenat Aman. Faizan K is no stranger to Pakistani audiences as he has worked in quite a few TV drama serials in the last three years, including Meri Laadli, Mann Ke Moti and Main Gunehgaar Nahin. So, all the best, Faizan K!
