The Legend Of Maula Jatt In India: When Fawad Khan Revealed If He Was Seen As A Threat To Bollywood Actors
The Legend Of Maula Jatt Release In India: Pakistani actor Fawad Khan has a huge fan following in India after he impressed the audience with his performances in some hit Bollywood movies. Despite his popularity, the actor was not able to work in India because Pakistani actors were banned from working in the Indian film industry due to the tensions between both countries. Fawad Khan will return to the Indian screens after eight years as his blockbuster Pakistani film 'The Legend Of Maula Jatt' will soon release in the country. In an earlier interview, the actor revealed if he was seen as a threat by Bollywood actors as he starred in several big projects.
While speaking on Ahmad Ali Butt's YouTube channel, the 'Khoobsoorat' actor emphasized that he received a lot of love from India and he is aware that every film industry has its own politics. He said, "That’s such a heavy question. I got a lot of love from India, but look, every industry has its politics. In Pakistan as well. But it’s easier to combat in your own industry. I’m not saying it’s unheard of, I’m sure it happens everywhere. There was one thing, I had PRs, and they used to get angry at this… I was like, ‘I need you to take out my name, not put it in there’. I would ask my PR to remove me from places, not put me. My manager would say, ‘You don’t know how the world works’.”

He further talked about PR and how he does not believe in exposing himself to the public too much. The actor added, "They say all publicity is good publicity, but I feel no publicity is the best publicity."

Fawad Khan gained international popularity after his shows 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai' and Humsafar aired on television channels in India. In 2014, he made his Bollywood debut with the movie 'Khoobsurat' opposite Sonam Kapoor and quickly gained a huge fan following.
He later received critical appreciation for playing the role of a closeted gay man in the family drama 'Kapoor & Sons'. The actor then appeared in 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' in a supporting role before Pakistani artists were banned from working in Indian cinema.
