He was already a popular name in India before his first Bollywood film Khoobsurat released thanks to his Pakistani show Zindagi Gulzar Hai But after playing a solo lead in his debut Hindi film Fawad Khan has mostly featured in multistarrers his last movie Kapoor amp Sons and next release Ae Dil Hai Mushkil being a case in pointFawad Khan PicIANSThe actor says he picks projects based on content as he finds choosing between solo or multistarrers a primitive conceptI dont think a multistarrer or a solo film has anything to do with your choice of films That is a bit of a primitive concept really Yes you might want to keep a healthy balance but that has more to do with the kind of roles you are playingThe films content is the king Karan filmmaker Karan Johar happened to offer me Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and since I had a good rapport with Dharma Productions it went on from there I choose films preferably based on content and then I see the kind of team I have to work with Fawad told IANS while he was here for an event for Giovani a suits and jackets brand from Future Lifestyle Fashions LimitedIn Khoobsurat Fawad played the role of Yuvraj Vikram Singh Rathore a royal opposite Sonam KapoorHe later essayed a homosexual guy in Kapoor amp Sons receiving a lot of appreciation for it Fawad says that he never had moments of doubt while playing such a bold role so early in his Bollywood careerMy character was represented in such a decent and subtle way in the film that I dont think there was any kind of worry that went behind doing this film They homosexuals are active members of society and the film was a representation of society So there was nothing alarming about it the actor told IANSHe also shared that he is open to do more such experiments in his acting career as long as the role is niceI would love to be a part of such wonderful stories I would think about the story itself rather than the repercussions of the character being played in the film I never had moments of doubt in this one Kapoor amp Sons because I just loved the film itself and the sensibility said the actor singer and modelFawad is next geared up for Karan Joharproducedanddirected Ae Dil Hai Mushkil starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka SharmaWhile he continues to make his presence stronger in the Indian film market there are other Pakistani actors too who are getting work in Bollywood Mahira Khan for example stars opposite Shah Rukh Khan in RaeesAsked why there are so many actors from Pakistan doing great in Bollywood and why the same is not happening with Indian actors in Pakistan Fawad explained I think its more because the Pakistani film industry has just rebooted and its in a very early stage as an industryGive a couple of more years for the situation to change I dont think its more to do with any governmentrelated thing as there is no restriction as such It has nothing to do with any sort of animosity or political friction for that matterPeople are working there and hopefully we would see things changing in days to come as we would love to have them Indian actors in our countryFawad is also open to sing in Bollywood films if there is an opportunityI would like to pursue it again at some point and hopefully soon But I would like to do it in my way I would like to be a part of the creative process and that takes time So be it in Bollywood or a Pakistani film a solo album or a song lets see I am looking forward to it I have got a guitar as well he said
