India and Pakistan should have joint productions, says Adnan Siddiqui

Adnan Siddiqui is actually very popular in India!

The Mere Qatil Mere Dildaar actor has quite a fan following there especially for his shows like Kaisi Ye Qayamat, Ruswaiyaan and Vasl.

The feeling is mutual, as according to The Hindustan Times, Adnan Siddiqui feels Pakistan could learn a thing or two from Indian reality TV shows.

“I am not very familiar with Indian drama shows but if you talk about Indian reality shows and the way they are executed, then there is no comparison. I don’t think, we in Pakistan, have reached that point where we make such big reality shows. We have everything taped,” says Siddiqui.

The 46-year-old actor feels there should be more collaboration between India and Pakistan for the sake of global entertainment.

“I feel that we can work together if we have a joint production. We can have directors from Pakistan, actors from India work together. That is going to be a big change. If I want to copy Indian style or India wants to copy Pakistan’s style, then that won’t work. We should work in our own capacity and horizons,” he says.

While he may support joint productions, Siddiqui has no plans for Bollywood after the release of his debut film, Mom:

“I am not considering any offer from Bollywood seriously. I am waiting for my first movie to be launched and screened in India and all over the world and then I will reach out organically. I am already juggling too many things. I am into production, I am looking after my outdoor advertising, I am acting and of course working in India and being away from home. I just cannot take too many things, I have my plate full right now,” he says.
