"Let's be realistic. I don't want to be a drama actor for the rest of my life and I want to explore new avenues right now. But if nothing works out, then I will be acting in dramas too. I am producing some right now; I have only taken a break from acting in them," he added.

The Mah of Mah-e-Meer will rise between two Eids

Following the buzz created by Mah-e-Meer's trailer last year, Fahad's fans have been anticipating the film's release.

"We planned to release the film on Eid, but given that so many films are coming out, we decided to release it sometime between Eidul Fitr and Eidul Azha. We want all films to do well," Fahad offered pragmatically.

He also mentioned that Mah-e-Meer has already been signed up for the film festival circuit; it will be presented in four international film festivals in Cannes, Toronto, Pune and Germany.

The film, which boasts actors like Iman Ali, Sanam Saeed, Manzar Sehbai and Alyy Khan, is a fresh biographical take on Meer Taqi Meer and is penned by popular writer Sermad Sehbai.

Na Maloom Afraad, now in Germany

Speaking about the success of Na Maloom Afraad, which is still running in cinemas, Fahad mentioned that the film was screened at Indian Munster Film Festival held in Germany recently.

I m sooo happy for fahad

I m so thankful he is not quitting dramas doe good and if he wants to give time to films better he does bollywood instead coz in the so called revamp of lollywood i m not liking any of the upcoming movie trailers except ho mann jaha and bin roye

So if he really wants to mk it to movies bollywood is way better option than lollywood

And thank goodness he is not quitting dramas

Pak dramas has a charm of its own which cant be compensated with either bollywood or lollywood

I m so hopeful that he does star with sanam baloch in mehreen jabbars show

All the best for him

I hv always considered fahad at par with fawad and imran abbas stardom and i m so glad he is going for the kill

I'm so happy that I'll not see him very often in dramas 😆

All the best fahad for ur films and upcoming projects... Hope u get success 😃

He's a great actor! I hope he gets the recognition he deserves!

so much for fawad getting so much heat and being called out for god knows what all stuff, when so many have followed suit and opted for or vied for BW movies after him..he almost seems to have opened BW up for his fellow colleagues too

No idea yet. I am going to keep my eyes open for him as I like Fahad.
Fahad is basically saying exactly what Fawad said...he wont do dramas unless he flops in movies. Which is fine as everyone aims for bigger things in life. Who wants to do lame dramas all their lives?

Fahad has acted in Pakistani films, has been a drama actor since 2002, has hosted one of Pakistan's first ever game show, has a production house where he produces Pakistani shows and is practically a shareholder of ARY Digital. Fawad has done nothing close to what Fahad has done in Pakistan and probably never will. Fawad has opened doors for Pakistani actors..but Fawad is arguably the only one who's more or less only focused on Bollywood. Also, Zindagi has helped Pakistani actors become more recognized in India, not just Fawad..and I'm sure these actors are getting offers based off of their own resumes and not Fawad's. Going to Bollywood is inevitable for many stars in Pakistan if they get the offers, but neglecting Pakistani work in the process is a little weird and actually pretty annoying.
