Fawad Khan has earned such a formidable reputation in Bollywood that it does not surprise any of his fans anymore to know that he has bagged another big banner film.

The actor will be been in a film produced by Salman Khan in which he plays the role of a musician. Wait for a moment. There’s an element here that might surprise a few of his admirers. Before Fawad K, Saif Ali Khan was tipped to do that part. This implies that the Pakistani star has practically replaced his senior Bollywood colleague. Now if that’s not progress, then what is!
