Many people do not know this but Hamza Ali Abbasi was offered a role in the Bollywood film Baby which Mikaal Zulfiqar later accepted after the Man Mayal actor refused to be a part of the film. Hamza explained his reason of rejecting the Bollywood biggie in a Facebook post, citing the anti-Pakistan content of the feature film.
Abbasi took to his official Facebook page and posted, “I was offered this Indian film Baby last year and I immediately said no to it seeing a slight anti-Pakistan element in its storyline.” The post further read, “I am in favour of our artistes working in Indian films, but if any film has even a slight anti-Pakistan theme, please think like a Pakistani first and then an artiste.”
The role was later played by Mikaal and he received a polarizing response form the audience. The movie was banned for a release in Pakistan.
