Pakistani actor-singer Fawad Khan is set to make his Bollywood debut with "Khoobsurat" and says his hands are full right now because viewers liked his TV show "Humsafar".
He undoubtedly enjoys a huge fan following in his homeland. In India, thanks to channel Zindagi, which airs Pakistani TV shows here, he has also built a strong fan base here.
"'Humsafar' is the reason why I got a lot of work. People liked it and I hope here also the audience will like the show," the 32-year-old said here Tuesday on the sets of reality show "India's Best Cinestars Ki Khoj".
The small screen experience gave him recognition. However, Fawad wants to now focus on his film career.
"Right now I want to continue in cinema, it is a learning experience for me. But if I have to, then I would go back to TV some day. But for now, I want to do cinema," said the "Zindagi Gulzar Hai" star.
"Khoobsurat", also starring Sonam Kapoor, will hits the theatres Sep 19.
