Fawad Khan's 'Khoobsurat' eagerly awaited!
26 July, 2014
Heartthrob of Pakistan Fawad Khan, as we all know by now, makes his big Bollywood debut in 'Khoobsurat', India's first ever Disney film.
'Khoobsurat' is a Walt Disney Pictures Production in association with Anil Kapoor Film Company and is directed by Shashanka Ghosh and stars Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan in the lead.
Khan had earlier been flooded with offers from India and the international front, thanks to his soaring popularity, however, he decided to sign 'Khoobsurat' given the interesting script and his role - Khan plays a modern day prince in the film.
"'Khoobsurat' was the ideal platform to make my Bollywood debut as it is a clean family entertainer and a modern-day fairytale. It was a lot of fun working on this film and I hope the audience enjoys it as much as I enjoyed during the making," Khan said.
Khan was the topic of discussion as fans took to the social pages, praising the actor within the first 48 hours of the launch of the 'Khoobsurat' teaser campaign.
While Sonam will essay the role of a fresh faced, charming and effervescent Milli; an endearing misfit in a royal setting, Khan will reprise the role of a straight jacketed royal prince in this romantic-comedy.
"It was an absolute pleasure working with the team. Sonam has been exceptionally sweet and accommodating and both Sonam and Rhea made me feel very welcome. We have been getting along like a family," Khan added.
'Khoobsurat' is all set to release worldwide on September 19, 2014.
Khan believes that working across the border will bring back a lot of learning for the local film industry in a lot of ways. "Pakistani commercial films are about just taking off but India recently celebrated 100 years of cinema. The Bollywood film industry is inspirational in many ways as its accepting, larger than life and forward moving. I have received a lot of love from the Indian audience with my television show 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai' and the response has been overwhelming," Khan said.
End.
