Not scared of Punjabi films

Published March 5, 2017

Contrary to what people think, Fawad Khan is not averse to the idea of working in a Punjabi film. The actor believes that Punjabi films over the years have contributed substantially to Pakistani cinema and he wants the Pakistan film industry to prosper. So if a worthwhile script [of a Punjabi film] comes his way, he will definitely give it a shot. Good on you Fawad K. Holding a gandasa in your hand and lifting a heavy-duty gal to plonk her on a fidgety horse should be right up your street.
