Kapoor & Sons director Shakun Batra wants to work with Fawad Khan again

The director hopes Pak-India relations improve so he can work with the Pakistani actor once more
19 Jul, 2017

Fawad Khan has found a fan in many across the border, and this doesn't exclude bigwigs from Bollywood, like the Kapoor & Sons director Shakun Batra.

According to Indian Express, the director hopes relations between Pakistan and India improve so that the two can collaborate on films again.

At the IIFA's, Batra told reporters, "I spoke to him [Fawad] yesterday; I miss him and I wish he was here. Last year, we both were here together at the IIFA. Unfortunately, we all know what happened. In the long run, let's hope both the countries can become friends again and collaborate."

This is not the first time the director has spoken fondly of Fawad Khan. Previously, he had said, "I miss him a lot. I don't know if I am supposed to be quiet about it... and I don't miss him because of any other things, I miss him simply because he is a great guy and he is a lovely collaborator. We Indians who work around the world, we do it legally, similarly, if somebody else wants to work legally in our country, it should be open. It should be a two-way street."

Shakun Batra is currently working on a project related to 'Human interest story'. We can tell Batra wishes to have Fawad Khan on the project. "I write something what I connect with and not think what is right or wrong," he said about the project.

Bollywood was not made by government donation or public funds. It is an independent unit and the second biggest film industry with its own hard work. Hence public and govt should not tell bollywood what it should do and what not. If they want to take Pak artistes, no one should interfere.

Leaving a mark is not a easy task, for it demands utmost energy and commitment and his strong desire to cast him bears out that he has left a strong mark and thus it is undeniable

Fawad Khan's exit from Bollywood had less to do with relationships between the two countries than with politics within the Bollywood establishment. With just a few movies, he clearly made a mark with his talent and affable personality. He developed a huge fan following in India, started getting recognized with awards and was well liked by ordinary folk. This was inconvenient to some of the star sons that he overshadowed.

Oh I so very much want Fawad khan to work in Bollywood. It is indeed a big loss for Bollywood. We want Fawad back.
