Pakistani actors in Indian movies -whats your prediction

So, a handful of actors from Pakistan are currently working in bollywood..Lets just predict the outcomes of their movies.

1. Fawad Khan - Kapoor & sons.
This one is going to be sure shot success. Produced by Dharma and his co-stars are Sidhart and Alia. Fawad is definitely going to overshadow the other two. Although, Sid has a great personality but his dialog delivery is weak and Alia is irritating..LOL.(my pov). This is definitely going to be a big thing for Fawad.

2. Fahad Mustafa - Mahesh Bhatt movie
He hasn't signed the contract yet but he confirmed it in his last interview that he will doing an intense love story. This film might be a success and he is fairly popular among Indian viewers. Also the music in vishesh films is always a success... and Intense love stories works very well with Indian viewers. But, he might get negative feedback from Paki viewers since vishesh films are known for their sleazy content.

3. Mawra Hoccaine -
There is no information about the production house or the name of the movie. I just read in BW forum that a Tamil actor who is making his debut in BW will be her co-star. I read in her interview that she said no to bold content but the picture that came out a couple of days ago says something else. Anyways, it will be difficult for the movie to be a success. If promoted well and WOM is good.. It might do well.

4. Imran Abbas - Jaanisar
A period drama set in 1877. Imran is paired opposite a newcomer Pernia Qureshi. here is the first look of the movie:

Imran Abbas in long hairs was a bad choice. His face is girlish and long hairs are making things worse for him. As for the movie.. I doubt it will be a success.

5. Mahira Khan - Raees
Just like Fawad's movie, this is also going to be a sure shot success. Her co-star is SRK and it says everything.

Few other actors (Faizan Khawaja, Shahroze Sabzwari & Ahsan Khan) are also doing BW movies but nothing much is known about their projects..so no predictions can be made about them at this moment.

fawad has already make a stable place in Bollywood and moreover it is karan johor's film and has aliya in opposite him..his one is going to be hit at least if not blockbuster

Hey Usman thanks for the lovely thread

Fawad and Mahira obviously have the upper hand over everyone else...not because of them, themselves..but because of the movies they're roped in. You could've roped anyone in their respective roles and they would've gotten a hit to their credit because the movies and actors involved are bankable. I mean working with SRK? You could put Mawra there and she'd blindly get a superhit to her name at the very least. Fawad will last longer than Mahira though in my opinion. Mahira doesn't have it in her to be a Bollywood star.

Everyone else is most likely not going to work because working in Bollywood isn't about potential or acting chops..there's so much more involved that makes you a star or merely recognized amongst audiences...and Imran, Ahsan, Fahad Mawra,etc etc aren't going to get that. And, let's just say that one of their films DO work in India for whatever reasons..they'll receive a backlash from Pakistani fans for sure..because somewhere down the line one of them will end up doing something that will create negativity amongst their Pakistani fans.

And, I would have given Imran's movie a shot out of curiosity had he not worn that hideous wig. Also, I'm getting bad vibes from Fahad's debut, if it ever happens.

Wow.. Interesting topic Usman.

Well, as u all already mentiomed that n it is clear that which movies are gonna be HIT or have more chances to become a blockbuster.

I see it in this way..

In Pakistan, even if we aren't that good looking or dashing, acting talent is the saving grace .. N I really appreciate that.. But in Bollywood itz not the same.. People get recognition more with their beauty than their talent. Plus u need to be very lucky to stand out there.

In this case I think, Fawad n Mahira are way too lucky to grab these big budget projects. Like we say in urdu ' andhe ko kia chahye do ankhen ? ' itz like what else one needs !? Some people get fame with their hardwork only but there are some who get that with their luck.

A KJo project has 80% chances to be a hit.. ( coz itz not always the case ) but I personally think, the movie, hit or flop, Fawad's performance would definitely leave a mark on audiences of Bollywood as it did for Khoobsurat

( didn't see the movie ).

Same goes for Mahira.. I think she is the luckiest one.. Be it in Pakistan or India.. It will be a hit with SRK for sure.. Plus the title Raees is attractive..

For Fahad, i personally want his movie to be a hit. I want the story to be mature n sensible n not a do number thing. I want him to be well recognized in India as well.

Imran's movie looks different.. I have hopes.. His look is wierd i know but I guess itz the demand of the story na ? As itz from 1800 era.. Well letz see..

No comments on Mawra.. She should have sticked to TV only.. Not Bollywood face in my opinion.. She hasn't impressed me that much with her acting though..

You're welcome.
I agree Fawad & Mahira are definitely lucky to grab these big projects especially Mahira. I am keeping the expectations from Fahad movie (If he is doing it) quite low seeing the fate of HAK which is on similar lines (intense love story) from Vishesh films.

The director of Imran's movie is the same person who directed Umrao Jaan with Rekha.. but as a matter of fact he directed only three movies after Umrao Jaan out of which one went unreleased and the other two are also not so famous. And his last movie released way back in 1995. So, don't really have high hopes for this one.

fawad and mahira really lucky bt more dey are bollywood material.. dts y dey bags such a big projects,, fawad had already made his place in bollywood,, (zgh worked for him) n mahira will definitely success,, (humsafar )

IMO Fawad has managed to get a good footing in BW and career wise I guess he is the most secure, so I suppose he'll continue with BW.

Don't see any of them making some sort of a mark, other than Fawad.
