For the unversed, Bilal Lashari’s blockbuster The Legend of Maula Jatt with its ensemble cast of Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Mahira Khan, and Humaima Malick, made headlines not only for its outstanding cinematography but also for revolutionizing Pakistani cinema. According to media outlets, even Karan Johar, the celebrated Bollywood director was spotted watching Lashari’s brainchild in Dubai. On the other side, Kapoor is all steady for the release of his latest action flick, Animal. KARACHI...

Pakistani actor Fawad Khan is nervous. Hard to believe, because The Legend of Maula Jatt is no debut for the star of Hamsafar, Kapoor & Sons, Khoobsurat and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. But that was six years ago. He is now bolder, and bigger. Literally. About 100 kgs. “I’ll be very honest to you; I’ve lied to the rest – I’m just nervous and that’s it. I’m excited as well, but I’m more nervous,” Fawad Khan told me in an interview. Just days ahead of the release of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in 2016, the sudden souring of India-Pakistan ties in the wake of the Uri attack made for Fawad Khan’s unceremonious exit from Bollywood, leaving many Indian fans heartbroken. Today, after a 6-year hiatus and an OTT series with the Ms. Marvel franchise later, Fawad is all set to make his big-screen comeback in and as Maula Jatt, slated for worldwide release on 13 October 2022.

Last year Fawad Khan rang in his 40th birthday in style. The Pakistani star was seen having a gala time with his family and close friends on a yacht. The actor is currently enjoying the massive success of his latest film The Legend of Maula Jatt, which continues to charm audiences worldwide. Fawad found favour in Bollywood after he played the lead in Khoobsurat and topped it up with Kapoor and Sons, and a cameo in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. However, Indian fans fondly remember him as the charming Zaroon from Zindagi Gulzar Hai or the romantic Ashar from Humsafar. Fans though do not know that he had already had several projects to his credit before these shows became accessible to them. On Fawad Khan’s 41st birthday, here’s looking at his lesser-known roles: Fawad Khan made his TV debut with Jatt and Bond and entered films with Khuda Kay Liye. (Photo: YouTube screengrabs) In 2001, Fawad Khan made his acting debut with the sitcom Jutt and Bond, in which he played the character of a bumbling spy named Bond. His bandmate Ahmed Ali Butt, also co-starred with him, playing Jatt, who interestingly was called Maula Jatt. From the episodes available on YouTube, Fawad can be seen as a lanky young man. Like most Pakistani shows, the script keeps you hooked while the comedy element will leave you in splits. Even though a rookie, Fawad stood out in the role, playing a suited spy in a village setup. After almost a gap of five years, Fawad made his film debut with Khuda Kay Liye in 2007. It was ...

15 June,2023 08:42 am (Web Desk) – Fawad Khan is a heartthrob of the entertainment industry that hardly needs any introduction. He has many admirers, especially women, not only in Pakistan but also in India who praise Mr Khan for his charming looks. Her latest admirer is an Indian Punjabi actress who is also adored by many in Pakistan, India and beyond due to her impressive acting and pretty looks. In a recent appearance on a Indian TV show, actor Sonam Bajwa was asked about her “crush”. The host maintained that a lot of people have a crush on Bajwa, before moving forward to ask her who she likes. In response, Bajwa reminded the host that crushes keep changing with time but her all-time favourite is Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan. This is not the first time the ‘Godday Godday Chaa’ actress accepted Fawad Khan as her crush as during her last interview with FM Canada, she said, "This is a mystery, I can't tell, but only that the person I want to have an affair with is already married." She further commented, "I don’t eye on married men. It's Fawad Khan, so if he wasn't wed, I'd make my move."

Fawad Khan has captured the hearts of audiences around the world with his exceptional talent and undeniable charm. Beyond his remarkable acting skills, Fawad possesses a magnetism that transcends the screen, leaving a lasting impression on those who encounter him. With his striking looks, suave demeanor, and effortless charisma, Fawad has a way of enchanting people effortlessly. And it seems The Legend of Maula Jatt actor has worked his magic on a certain Punjabi Indian actor who has been all about him lately. In a recent appearance on a Indian TV show, actor Sonam Bajwa was asked about her “crush”. The host maintained that a lot of people have a crush on Bajwa, before moving forward to ask her who she likes. In response, Bajwa reminded the host that crushes keep changing with time but her all-time favourite is Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan. “See, crushes keep changing,” she said. “Then who is your crush these days?” the host inquired. “These days… my all-time favourite, my all-time crush is Fawad Khan,” held Bajwa. “His place, nobody can take. He is it,” she added. This is not the first time Bajwa has confessed her admiration for Khan. Previously, she had said that if Khan wasn’t married, she would date him.

About her infatuations, she said, "This is a mystery, I can't tell, but only that the person I want to have an affair with is already married." She further c...

Fawad Khan likes to believe he’s got a funny bone. The Pakistani heartthrob says this in relation to his new Urdu movie, 'Money Back Guarantee', a political satire that sees him playing a grumpy banker with a thin moustache and a peculiar gait. It’s supposed to be an evil character that’s also comic. It’s a departure from anything he’s played on screen before. In a career spanning more than two decades, Khan has been associated mostly with the charming, nice-guy, romantic hero popularised by the Ashers and Zaroons in TV shows like 'Humsafar' and 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai', and also by Bollywood romcoms such as 'Khoobsurat' and 'Kapoor & Sons'. It seems he’s raring to shed the image. Of late, his choices have become more diverse: be it the Muslim freedom fighter in pre-Partition India, in Disney+’s 'Ms Marvel'; or the beefy, Punjabi prizefighter with long locks and kohl-lined eyes, in Pakistan film industry’s biggest money-spinner yet, 'The Legend of Maula Jatt'. His next few projects are no less exciting — from 'Churails' director Asim Abbasi’s series for Zee5, 'Barzakh', where Khan reunites with his 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai' co-star, Sanam Saeed; to 'Neelofer', his first home production, opposite Mahira Khan. The film pitches him against cricketer-turned-first-time actor Wasim Akram, and other stars, including Mikaal Zulfiqar, Ayesha Omar, Kiran Malik, Shayan Khan, who is also the film’s co-producer; Javed Sheikh, Hina Dilpazir, Afzal Khan Rambo, Ali Safina, Marhoom Ahmed Bilal, and...

When Melody Queen Noor Jehan visited India in 1982, a little more than three decades after she had left for Pakistan, veteran actor Dilip Kumar said, “The years you have spent far away from us… are the years that we have spent waiting for you.” Fans of Fawad Khan would probably say the same. For the past few years, Khan has made only cameo appearances, like his appearance in Ms. Marvel earlier this year, but he’s finally returned to the big screen with the Pakistani Punjabi action drama, The Legend of Maula Jatt (2022). With wild, long hair and scars on his face, Khan looks nothing like the debonair, urbane hero that he’s best known for. Touted to be the most expensive project in the history of Pakistani cinema, The Legend of Maula Jatt reunites Khan with Mahira Khan, and revolves around the rivalry between a prizefighter Maula Jatt and Noori Nath, the leader of a vicious gang. The film is directed by Bilal Lashari and also stars Hamza Ali Abbasi and Humaima Malick in pivotal roles. On the eve of the release of The Legend of Maula Jatt, Film Companion spoke to Khan about preparing for this comeback role, his chemistry with the leading ladies, and midlife crisis. A six-year absence I think I have overcome my fear of anonymity. Or at least it’s not surfacing. The only thing I fear is when I put in a lot of hard work into something and that doesn’t turn out to be good enough. I was always clear that showbiz is a complicated career and there will be ups and downs and all these...
