Shaan started by saying, “It’s a proud moment for Pakistani films and I’m honoured to be a part of them. I’m honoured to have so many fans who have loved my work and allowed me to entertain them for 25 years. With the respect and love, they have always given me comes a price, the price of responsibilities, my responsibility as a Pakistani film actor.”
“For me, the only option ever was to bring Pakistani films out of its boundaries and show the world what immense talent and scripts we have in Pakistan so I always kept my focus on building Pakistani film industry rather than building my own career,” he added.
He went on to add: “And trust me I’m not trying to target anybody but I seriously don’t expect any to follow me but don’t stop me from walking on the path I have chosen we have differences with each other that is not letting us create our strength as a Pakistani brand but we can still unite on an 8 letter word – Pakistan.”
He urged the industry to come together and said, “The film industry needs all of us right now together working to build so the future generations don’t have to. They would be sitting on thrones of stardom. Young directors, actors, writers, technicians don’t have to go look for work anywhere they would be able to dream and achieve. They don’t have to go through the building process.”
