I'm more excited for Kapoor & Sons than the Pakistan-India match, says Fawad Khan

"Currently there is no India versus Pakistan T20, only Kapoor & Sons," says the beloved actor

18 Mar, 2016

The upcoming weekend promising a thrilling few days for people in Pakistan and India.

First, there's the release of beloved actor Fawad Khan's sophomore Bollywood project, *Kapoor & Sons,* which releases in cinemas today.

Second, there's the most-awaited match of the ICC World Twenty20 series on March 19, the face-off between Pakistan and India, and Pakistanis have their fingers crossed for a victory that will break India's winning streak.

Imagine the excitement of Fawad, who's admitted to being a passionate cricket fan. But the actor has said that he's more excited for his film than anything else:

"I am very excited but I'm more excited for 'Kapoor & Sons'. Currently there is no India versus Pakistan T20, only 'Kapoor & Sons'," said Fawad at the screening of the film, reports IBNLive.

And he's confident that the film will be a hit across borders:

"The USP is that it is a relatable family drama, it is a sweet and a heartfelt story, I feel that such kind of films are hardly made because it is very simple and made for the love of filmmaking."

"There was no need to plug in any unimportant element and no need to sprinkle any 'masala', the story is that complete. The movie itself is so entertaining and so full of love that people would watch it," Khan added.

'Kapoor & Sons' has been produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and directed by Shakun Batra.

I happen to live in the same town where shooting for Kapoor and sons was taken .The entire entourage was here for nearly two months. I can't help commenting on this.One weekend my son and me had gone for seeing the shooting and there was Fawad and his co stars under canopies enjoying sipping tea .Fawad obliged fans and onlookers with selfies and photographs. Most of us knew he was Pakistani but that was the last thing on our mind. With so much hate written and spoken on both sides this was the picture perfect of people to people contact to do away with this animosity. Fawad was also at his elements jeans tees and enjoying the company of some teenage girls.I don't think he for one moment felt he was in foreign country.

At 18 Fawad was debased when Pakistan lost to India. He vowed never to let that happen again, hence his indifference to the match. He does not want repeat tragedy, just incase pakistan loses. Which they won't. Shezad, Hafeez and Shoib are all guns blazing.

Coming good reviews from all the critics. Hope this movie may get a hit status at least.

"I'm more excited for Kapoor & Sons than the Pakistan-India match, says Fawad Khan" he should be, it is a question of bread & butter for him & his family.
