LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistani actor Bilal Abbas has expressed his wish to work with Indian director Vishal Bharadwaj despite hostile relations between both the countries.

In an interview to Indian media, Bilal Abbas said that Indian film-maker Vishal Bhardwaj has an amazing understanding of cinema.

"I love watching movies and web series, be it Hollywood or Bollywood. I have seen a lot of Indian movies including the South Indian ones. They are the reason that I am an actor today," Bilal shared.

"I wish to be directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. I have seen all his films like Omkara, Kaminey, Haider and Maqbool. His understanding of cinema is amazing and I aspire to be part of films that comprise performance-driven characters and a powerful storyline. He is my all-time favourite," he added.

"Whenever I have to sign a project, I make sure that the character I’m about to do is different from my previous one. After I did Cheekh, I was on the lookout for a light-hearted character, opposite of what I did before. This is how I ended up doing Pyaar Ke Sadqay," Khan said.

"I do make a conscious effort to ensure that every character I do is different and challenges me in a new way," he went on to say.
