Actually no more words are needed to introduce Fawad Khan, his name is enough, who has worked in India and even Hollywood apart from Pakistan.
In the second week of October, Fawad Khan’s first Pakistani Punjabi film ‘The Legend of Moolah Jat’ is releasing.
The film is the biggest Pakistani film of all time, which is also being called as a reboot version of the classic Punjabi film Moolah Jat.
This is Fawad Khan’s first Pakistani film as a hero in his long career.
Independent Urdu had a special meeting with Fawad Khan to talk about the film Maula Jat and the first question he asked was why did he take 15 years to make a Pakistani film?
At this, Fawad smiled and said, “Deer aye shart aye” The work will be seen.’
Fawad Khan admits that he is quite cautious about his role while he is also a bit lazy. In this context, he also handed over one of his teachers.
They said that multitasking becomes difficult for them, so they work less.
Fawad Khan said that many times he talked to many producers for his work, but he could not start the work for one reason or another. Also, he said that since he also has diabetes, he works very carefully, if he works too much, it has consequences.
On gaining weight for the role of Moula Jutt, she said that shedding more weight is more difficult than putting it on.
Fawad Khan said that the upcoming film Maula Jat is a very difficult and high-profile work of Pakistani cinema, so even when it was finished, it still took time to shed the weight.
On this occasion, he mentioned a Hollywood actor and said that he too had gone through this and became a victim of difficulties. “Growing weight and then losing it is very difficult and difficult work, that’s why it is said that life is life.”
On speaking Punjabi for Maula Jat, Fawad said that the credit goes to the film’s writer Nasir Adeeb and the production team. According to Fawad Khan, he was very weak in Punjabi, so this was another challenge for him, ‘Say some Punjabi words in one way, then draw them out and it changes the fun’.
Fawad Khan said that he was born in Karachi, lived in Lahore, but Punjabi was not spoken at home or at school, so he had difficulties in speaking Punjabi.
Fawad Khan said, ‘When it came time to speak Punjabi for the film, his legs trembled because in front of him was Punjabi expert Hamza Ali Abbasi, who was playing the role of Noori Naat. Now the scene is made by two actors, if one is weak then the scene gets spoiled, all these were challenges which he accepted and fulfilled.’
He said that he has seen a little of the old Moula Jat, but since he does not understand Punjabi properly, most of the things go over his head, so he has not seen the whole but some parts of it.
Fawad Khan said about Gundase that driving it is a separate art. ‘It is a kind of dance, for this the action team came from abroad, now while working with this team we have to take our Punjabi culture along with us and keep it modern.’
He said that the gandasa that was six to seven kilos because it didn’t look right in the plastic, so it was very difficult to take the heavy gandasa, to rotate it, to drive it, to stab it. “Now you will see the movie and you will know how it was played by Gundasa”.
Fawad Khan admitted that working with Mahira Khan was great in the sense of working with an old friend. ‘Some are nervous that people will still like the work as well as they did before, there are expectations, hopefully people’s expectations will be met.’

Regarding relations with India, Fawad Khan said that what artists could do, they have done, they have done it in a vigorous manner. “Now the political division in the world has come a lot, the narrow view has increased, the news media is more important than the artist in this matter, this responsibility is theirs, after which the artists come.”
He said: ‘When we did Hum Safar Aur Zindagi Gulzar Hai, people in India used to say that we have not seen such material, Karachi was not known to be like this. So the initiative will come from somewhere else then the artists will do their work.’
Fawad Khan revealed that his Twitter account was created by Sonam Kapoor during the time of the film ‘Khoobsurat’, while Siddharth Malhotra’s Instagram account was created during the Kapoor & Sons era.
Explaining the reason for staying away from social media, he said that he doesn’t know much about social media, because he thinks that because of the confinement of a few letters, the message cannot be completed, to explain things to people. It needs some space and time.
According to Fawad Khan: ‘The Internet has both advantages and disadvantages, but the disadvantages of social media have been felt more.’
