Auditions are currently on full swing.”
Even though the studio has been in talks with the Pakistani actor for a while, it was waiting to see the audience’s reception and the box-office response to his first Bollywood film. “Now that it is obvious that he has been accepted this side of the border too, they can’t wait to start a second film with him,” added the source, ending on a cautionary note, “The paperwork is yet to be done. The final call will be taken as soon as he is back from Pakistan” Fawad, who is currently in Pakistan, couldn’t be reached for comment.
