IT’S ‘UNFAIR’ TO COMPARE THE PAKISTANI FILM INDUSTRY WITH THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, SAYS FAWAD KHAN

Opinion that matters!

Fawad Khan is again ruling at the silver screen with his recent film Money Back Guarantee. While promoting the film, in an interview with a publication, the The Legend of Maula Jatt star shared his two cents about Pakistani cinema. “We all want the [film] industry to grow, to have more employment opportunities and an increase in revenue,” he remarked. “We want people at every income group to benefit [from the growth of the industry], everyone to make money.” In response to a question that compared the progress of the Pakistani film industry on a world stage, he said, “It’s better if we do not compare ourselves with the world right now since our opportunities are very limited. You cannot compare a film that has a budget of 15 to 20 crores here with a film with a $500 or 400 million budget. Even if we talk about our neighbouring country [India], they have budgets of 300, 400 or 500 crores. Right now, to make the comparison is unfair,” said Khan. The actor expressed optimism and hope for the country’s cinema. “But I feel that in our limited resources, how much we have pulled off and how much we continue to achieve, I feel it seems promising that the market [for films] will expand.”
