To me, Fahad Mustafa is more like Akshay Kumar than Salman Khan: Osman Khalid Butt

Actor thinks 'Na Maloom Afraad' star's films give a social message, much like Kumar's

Earlier last week, Fahad Mustafa compared himself to Bollywood celebrity Salman Khan for having his films release during Eid - just like the Dabanng actor across the border. Since, Twitter users have been trolling the Na Maloom Afraad star for drawing similarities between the two.

I'm like the Salman Khan of Pakistan: Fahad Mustafa

However, Osman Khalid Butt seems to have a different opinion. In a series of tweets, Butt said, "To me, Fahad Mustafa is more Akshay Kumar - given his foray into socially conscious satire - than Salman Khan. Load Wedding, with its low-stakes romance, important social message, rural realism and sharp satire makes for flawed but essential viewing."

To me, Fahad Mustafa is more Akshay Kumar (given his foray into socially conscious satire) than Salman - Load Wedding, with its low-stakes romance, important social message, rural realism & sharp satire (on game shows, media manipulation, watta satta & dowry)... cont'd

Praising Mustafa's latest film opposite Mehwish Hayat, Butt added that the two make for a great on-screen pair. "Fahad is brilliant in a delglam, every-man, most infantile avatar. The film meanders in the first half but still has joyous sequences."

.. makes for flawed but essential viewing. Fahad & Mehwish make for a great romantic couple (some of their scenes together in the first half are gold) - Fahad especially is brilliant in a deglam, every-man, almost infantile avatar. The film meanders in the first half.. cont'd.

The Baaghi star continued that Load Wedding packs an emotional punch with a powerful monologue at its climax. Butt also mentioned that he enjoyed watching the film because it was filled with relatable characters and situations.

.. but still has joyous sequences. It packs quite an emotional punch in the second, with a powerful monologue at its climax. Faiza Hassan (teetering dangerously close to caricature), Fahim Khan (major props!) are hilarious, as is Qaiser Piya.
