Sarmad Khoosat, the director of various admired serials in Pakistan, popular for his acclaimed drama “Humsafar” has offered his first ever leading character movie role to actor Fawad Khan, for his debuting movie.
Sarmad has had immense success in the drama industry of Pakistan with the audience and critics’ positive feedback on “Humsafar” which was an immediate hit starring Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan and their chemistry on screen, which drove not just the fans, but the ratings off the charts.
Now, Khoosat has decided to take a step forward in his career and move on to directing films. Since the drama serials are being televised in India, Sarmad was interviewed by Times of India and was quoted to remark “I like Fawad as an actor and a star but our approach and our process of working don’t match and for me the process of filming a drama or a film is more important than the outcome”
Fawad Khan who has already been in two movies, a local production “Khuda Kay Liye” and his recent Bollywood debut “Khoobsurat” for which he has received raving reviews and immense appreciation and is ranked high, on local and Bollywood film makers casting list.
Sarmad Khoosat was also quoted to say, “Our actor-director relationship was extremely nice till Humsafar but after that I had reservations about a few things with him.”
From Sarmad’s interview it was clear that he was not inclined to be working with Fawad Khan but with his debuting movie offer being made to Fawad, it seems that his mind has been changed for the better.
