Pakistani film actor Shaan has criticised
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming movie, Happy New Year, calling it
a rip-off of famous American comedy-heist film Ocean’s 12, the Gulf News
reported on Tuesday.
“Happy New Year is what — Oceans 12? Let’s be
honest. They have to realise that they don’t have any scripts anymore, whatever
scripts they have, it starts to become an art film,” said Shaan speaking to
Gulf News.
The actor who recently starred in Operation 021
is currently in Abu Dhabi for the International Showbiz Expo, where he is
expected to discuss the growth and prospects of the Pakistani film industry.
He also added that Pakistan and India should
work together to produce superior films.
“We actors don’t have to win votes, so we don’t
have to belittle each other. Actors can still be friends. We can still make
good films and go beyond boundaries. That will only happen if major
stakeholders like Shah Rukh or Aamir will shoot a film in Pakistan,” said
Shaan, who plans to do a remake of Mahesh Bhatt’s much-admired film Arth.
Shaan has also been cast in two upcoming
Pakistani films, Yalghaar and Gidh.
While in the UAE, the Pakistani actor is also
expected to walk the Red Carpet at the opening night of the Abu Dhabi Film
Festival on Thursday.
