‘Watching SRK on-screen is an event’: Amar Khan in awe of Shah Rukh Khan’s screen presence

Actor Amar Khan took to her Twitter handle to share her excitement about Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback film Pathaan ‘s release. Amar tweeted, “Reviving back so many Single screens . Now that’s the hysteria of a King! Ufff last saw his zero in Pakistan, then films got banned on both sides. Watching Shahrukh khan on screen is not viewing a film it’s witnessing an event. This man withstood all TVs, VCRs, digital & and whatnot.” Earlier this month, Khan appreciated Bhansali’s work and expressed her desire for a filmmaker like him to be born “on this side of the border.” She further stated that there is a dearth of women-centric storylines in Pakistani cinema. “The success of  Gangubai Kathiawari  dispelled two myths: that heroines cannot be box office heroes. And that good old-fashioned dialogues are not appreciated by everyone. Sanjay Leela Bhansali made his simplest film infusing it with deep emotion and complete drama,” a fan wrote on Twitter.

 Actor Sarwat Gillani, in an interview with  JORE , expressed her drive to flip the script on female representation in Pakistani TV and cinema. And with that, she also reflected on her earlier roles, and what all she took away from them. “I feel as entertainers, we have a responsibility towards the kind of behaviours we encourage. Even when I was doing the  satisavitri,  girl-next-door, damsel in distress kind of roles, I would think to myself that there are unbelievable women doing unbelievable things, why aren’t we talking about them? My struggle even then was, how much of these sob stories are we going to do?” Sarwat shared.

I speak widely.” In the same interview, Nora was questioned about what she conside...
