Developing strong screenplays has never really been our hallmark when it comes to Pakistani Cinema and it would not be wrong to say that poor scripts have been the main reason for a lot of failures that we have seen coming out of this new wave.
It is often said that veteran film-makers have a strong command over the script and having them collaborate with new age makers would guarantee films that are technically sound while also having that filmy punch.
While we are yet to see any such collaboration happening, veteran Lollywood superstar Shaan Shahid has made a move where he wants to help bridge this gap between the old and the new.
Yes, Shaan Shahid, who has been in the industry for more than 25 years now has offered consultation whereby he will be providing producers with filmmaking solutions from script doctors, screenplay writers, onscreen time management and more of the nitti gritties.
To know more we contacted Noman, manager of Shaan Shahid, and he confirmed that this is infact true and Shaan has offered these consultation services for quite some time now. “And why not” he adds “Shaan has had formal training in filmmaking from The City College of New York and he has been a part of the industry for more than two decades so I’m sure he definitely knows a thing or two about film-making.”
Well, this is indeed quite an interesting offer from the actor and we hope lots of newbies trying their hand with film-making will make full use of this opportunity.
