Missing out on your weekly celebrity masala fill? The latest edition of The Munshi Show has it all sorted out for you.
With the masses’ favorite superstar Fahad Mustafa taking the hot-seat, it is yet another exciting episode that is full of interesting revelations, soundbites, and fun games.
And why wouldn’t it be? With the kind of run Fahad has had in the industry both as a successful TV and film actor and the best game-show host of the country, he offers some legitimate first-hand insights into how the industry works.
What’s more, he shared them all pretty candidly and frankly!
Dramas screening in cinemas
While Fahad continues to produce dramas for television under his production house BigBang productions, he has expressed no desire to return to television to act in dramas. It is no secret that he has limited his acting to film projects only, much to the disappointment of his ardent fans who wish to see him more frequently on the screen. However, Fahad’s views about television dramas have always been quite different from the norm and that was once again when he expressed his opinions about some popular recent dramas screening in cinemas.
Interestingly, despite being a major drama producer for television, Fahad stated that he is not in favor of the television content on the big-screen idea.
“You can’t compare the two mediums. God forbid the time comes again when our dramas get screened in cinemas. Nobody wants that, not even Humayun Saeed who had his drama screened on the big screens. It’s not a progressive step that we are taking, in reality, we are taking a step back. Think of how desperate the people are for content. Our films have grossed big numbers of 70 crores, the focus should be on the next ones making more than that. But [dramas screening in cinemas] is just an easy escape.”
A healthy trend?
This is definitely a striking opinion to have in a time when dramas are not missing out on the chance of getting the big-screen treatment. With the kind of success that Meray Paas Tum Ho got at the box office and the positive anticipation within the fans for the upcoming Ehd e Wafa finale, it looks like the industry is getting the audience used to the idea of having more dramas being screened in cinemas.
“This trend will end up harming the entire industry,” Fahad stated as a matter-of-fact.
