Shaan Shahid talks about ‘Majajan’ remake in latest interview

• Khuda Kay Liye actor Shaan Shahid turned down Aamir Khan.
• He thinks picking up a villain from Pakistan puts more pressure on India-Pakistan relations.
• He also thinks Mahira Khan is wonderful and would want her to star in a remake of Majajan.

Shaan Shahid recently sat for an interview and talk about his career, controversies, and colleagues while promoting his upcoming movie Zarrar.

When questioned about why he turned down the Aamir Khan and Asin-starring Bollywood flick Ghajini, Shaan responded, “There are some differences between the two nations (India and Pakistan), so picking up a villain from Pakistan puts more pressure and limelight on that relationship. Unko Villain sirf yahan pe nazar aatay hain or heroes sirf wahan pe. (They only see villains in Pakistan and heroes in India.)

The seasoned actor continued, “Also, the geopolitical system, Both India and Pakistan have a lot of baggage of the past and in the present as well. I think whatever is happening in India with Muslims is heartbreaking. I believe as a person you start creating an opinion and you have a set of rules or morals or values that you would rather put before making a financial decision.”

Next, we asked Shaan who his favourite leading females would be for a remake or a follow-up to his 2006 Punjabi movie Majajan. On March 24, 2006, the movie opened throughout all of Pakistan. In the cinemas of Lahore, Majajan celebrated its Diamond Jubilee (100 weeks).

The Khuda Kay Liye actor eagerly added that he thinks Mehwish Hayat is stunning and would like to cast her as his other main woman. He also said that he thinks Mahira is extremely wonderful and would want her as one of the heroines.

Shahid joked that he would want to see Mahira play the role of a courtesan played by Saima Khan and Mehwish play the part of Madiha Shah.
