Superstar opens up about his favourite actors, Bollywood, Dil Lagi and a lot more

KARACHI: Fawad Khan might be on the verge of conquering Bollywood but there are many who want to see more of him in home productions and superstar Humayun Saeed is one of them.

In an interview with The Express Tribune, the Jawani Phir Nahi Ani star shared a list of actors of who have the potential to become the next superstar and unsurprisingly, the Khoobsurat actor was in it too.



"Everyone likes Fawad Khan and his work, but I want him to work in Pakistani films. It's my wish to see him more in local productions. I also want to cast him in my own film so, I am just waiting for him to get done with Indian films," Saeed said.

"Fahad Mustafa has also been acting for a long time now and he's good at what he does. Feroze Khan, Zahid Ahmed and Hamza Ali Abbasi are also very good actors," he added quipping, "And I am good too."

When it comes to actresses, the Bin Roye star was all praise for Nadia Jamil and Sania Saeed. "I really like Nadia Jamil and Sania Saeed as  actresses. I have done such an amazing work with them during the initial days of my career that I can't let it go," Saeed said.

"I am not saying that the newer lot of actresses are no good. They are doing good work too and I have worked with some of them such as Mahira Khan, Sohai Ali Abro, Saba Qamar and Mehwish Hayat. But my work with Nadia and Sania is something I can never forget," he added.

Branding necessary for film industry's survival: Humayun Saeed

Speaking about his future projects, Saeed shared that he won't be doing any more TV serials this year after Dil Lagi and Bin Roye. He also has two-three films in his kitty for the next year including, Yalgaar, Main Punjab Nahi Jaongi and JPNA 2.

"I had the craving to make and watch my own films in cinema. It's been over a decade that I have finally gotten a chance so, I have no intention to work in Bollywood or Hollywood," he added.

POSTER

Saeed, who has returned to TV after four years with Dil Lagi, also spilled the beans on whether Mohid survives the bullet or not. "Initially, Mohid was supposed to die in the end. But I have been actually arguing with my director Nadeem Baig for the last one week. He is under the influence of the audience and doesn't want the character to die."

"We have shot two endings; one where he dies and the other where he survives. I personally want Mohid to die so, the decision is yet to be finalised."
