Hotstepper of the Month
Ali Zafar
 


While his film might be banned in Pakistan, Ali Zafar has been unstoppable this month with the release of Tere Bin Laden which has been received really well by audiences around the world, especially in Dubai and India. While TBL started off slow in India, a report on its box office performance claims: ÒTere Bin Laden started on a 15 per cent to 20 per cent to 25 per cent note in the morning and noon shows, it picked up during the evening shows, since the word of mouth is extremely positive.Ó Not just that, but Bollywood stars such as Salman Khan have called TBL a Òpaisa vasoolÓ film. While certain critics have slammed it back here home for no depicting Karachi accurately, the film is doing well across the border with Karan Johar being very impressed by Ali Zafar and Shobhaa De raving about the film too. Also, cinema owners are clamouring for the film to get a Pakistan release. Success in India is the next step for Pakistani talent and Ali Zafar has taken it to a whole new level. So hereÕs to Ali Zafar for playing his cards right and making waves across the border. Even if Atif follows suit, Ali Zafar will forever be the boy who blazed the trail. For that alone he is Instep's hotstepper of the month.
