With three Pakistani films and a TV series to release soon, the actor is ready to blow away his audience with his onscreen presence after a long wait.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with <em>Something Haute<\/em>, Fawad spoke about his own production, a film titled <em>Neelofer<\/em> that stars Mahira Khan. He shared how he was sold on the idea when he heard the one-liner of the story for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Neelofer<\/em> is the story about a writer who falls in love with a blind girl. It\u2019s a love story based in Lahore and we have tried our best to keep the charm of Lahore in it but show people a different side other than the landmarks that have been shown in every project. There is romance in it, there is tragedy in it and has a happy ending,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>While talking about <em>Neelofer<\/em>, Fawad also reminisced that director Amin Iqbal once also narrated a story to him that touched him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Years before that, Amin Iqbal wrote a story about a blind sculptor. It was a story based in Lahore, specifically the winter in Lahore and it was a series. The way he narrates his stories, you get an idea that he is very hands-on with his craft. I don&#8217;t know why it (the project) just never happened. It was set in the Lahore that I grew up in and can relate to&#8230; the fog during winter season when the rays of light fall and how Lahore is lit. In this setting, there is a man who cannot see and he falls in love with a woman. So, it always intrigued me&#8230; these kind of roles,&#8221; he shared.<\/p>\n<p>Following the interview, writer\/director Amin Iqbal took to his social media and shared a message for Fawad along with a video clip.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey Fawad, yes, the story is still waiting for it&#8217;s protagonist&#8217;s availability. I believe that every story chooses its destiny itself and this story&#8217;s destiny has waited for 18 years to reach its culmination. Not much longer to wait hopefully,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Ci9ZB5sKVKs\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Ci9ZB5sKVKs\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Amin Iqbal (@aminiqbalofficial)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Amin Iqbal has directed famous dramas like <em>Dushman-e-Jaan<\/em>, <em>Deedan<\/em> and <em>Ishaq E Laa. <\/em>His post intrigued Fawad&#8217;s fans about who is this protagonist he has been patiently waiting for 18 years and we can&#8217;t wait to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full interview here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Fawad Khan Discusses His Dramas, Bollywood, Absence &amp; All That&amp;apos;s Next!
