Pakistani films are starting to gain recognition all around the world. From Kami Sid's Rani being screened at international film festivals to Bollywood film-maker Mahesh Bhatt lauding Punjab Nahi Jaungi, it's safe to say that our films are getting up there, slowly but surely.
After all this, three of Fahad Mustafa's films have been shortlisted to be screened at the Festival South Asia Forum for Art & Creative Heritage (SAFACH) in India.
The Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 star took to Twitter to share his joy. Posting a picture of the news article with a headline that read 'Indian Festival To Screen Three Pakistani Movies In December,' Mustafa wrote, "Wah Wah."
The festival will show 2014's Na Maloom Afraad, 2016's Actor in Law and last year's Na Maloom Afraad 2, all of which feature Mustafa and have been directed by Nabeel Qureshi.
