The director who was criticized by the Indian political party for casting Fawad in his last flick, 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', admitted that ‘some of the most exceptional talent comes from Pakistan’.

The newly turned father was at the London School of Economics for his meet and greet session when he was questioned if he would like to collaborate with Pakistani talent again. The Express Tribune quoted director , “You know what happened to me the last time, right?”

He further added, “I have to say that for me, I believe talent has no boundaries, but unfortunately I stand in the minority. Therefore, there are modalities, legalities and there is a circumstance that surrounds us that restricts our exceptionally progressive sports.”

“Sometimes I believe I wish that I wasn’t accountable, but I am a citizen of the country and follow the diktat that the environment suggests,” continued Karan.

Nonetheless, ‘the Student of the Year’ director went all gaga while talking about his experience with Fawad saying, “Having said that, I think some of the most exceptional talent comes from Pakistan. I had the honor and pleasure to actually direct Fawad Khan, have seen his exceptional work.”

While commenting on Fawad’s performance in his Bollywood flick Kapoor & Sons, Karan expressed, I think it was immensely brave of him to do what he did in ‘Kapoor & Sons’. After six actors have said no to the part, I believe it was tremendously courageous of him to say yes.”

Karan concluded, “I wish that our cinema and cinema in general would be exposed to such enormous talent like Fawad Khan.”
