Naya Pakistan Ke Saath Saath This Journalist Wants A Naya Lollywood Too And It's Pretty Savage

By Arslan Athar | 1 Aug, 2018

Imran Khan is very well on his way to make his dream of a ‘Naya Pakistan’ happen. This begs the question, what all will become Naya in this new Pakistan. Rafay Mahmood posted a rather interesting status on Facebook, outlining what a naya entertainment industry would look like, and we couldn’t help but burst out laughing!

Here are his 10 points for improving the industry and making it Naya. 

1. ‘Shaan and Sajjad Ali start acting their age’ 

Oooh, now that’s what you call savage! One comment under his status is worth a mention; it drags another big name from the industry down for his way too ‘young’ roles with younger actors:

2. ‘Hocanes banned from social media’

Personally, I don’t have an issue with the girls, but a lot of people do. To each either own, I guess. But like, democracy, I guess!

3. ‘Waqar Zaka goes to Syria and finds nirvana’ 

Honestly, this is one we should all strive to make come true. It’s time. It was actually time 10 years ago, so yeah, IT NEED TO HAPPEN

4. ‘Ali Sethi recognised as Bilal Khan of ghazal singing’ 

Aik teer se do shikaar’. I really hope you all are taking notes, this man is a ‘burn’ king

5. ‘Salman Ahmed falls from the container’

I’m not adding anything more to this!

6. ‘Ali Azmat releases new album’ 

We can all agree that Naya Lollywood would need this to feel complete. Haters will say otherwise, but let’s be real, we should all live life ignoring them.

7. ‘Imran Abbas returns to Bollywood with Creature 4D’ 

Because the 3D experience wasn’t nearly enough

8. ‘Mahesh Bhatt launches Momina Mustehsan into space’ 

Is someone calling the police because SHOTS HAVE BEEN FIRED!!

9. ‘Maula Jatt releases before Waar 4’

I too would like to see Maula Jatt before I die…Bilal Lashari, are you listening, my child!

10. ‘Ayesha Omar quits the industry (hopefully). Maulana Tariq Jamil takes credit.’ 

This is the one thing on the list I feel is quite the stretch. But chalo, what’s the harm in hoping?

Rafay Mahmood has won our hearts with his 10 point agenda to change Lollywood. The man has made a name as an entertainment journalist and also had a stint as a talk show host. You can follow him on Twitter for more some entertainment here.

Rafay spoke exclusively to MangoBaaz, answering our question as to why he posted this (very much needed) status, he had this to say, ‘There is something so consistently annoying about all the people and instances mentioned in that post. If it isn’t people such as Sajjad and Shaan who act like divas in their post-retirement days it is the trend of Maulana TJ converting actors into maulvis. I thought all of it is just hilariously amazing for such a small industry!’

Baat tou boy ne sahi ki hai!
