Mehwish Hayat thinks Bollywood’s ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’ is inspired by ‘Actor in Law’

Watching the trailer, one can’t ignore the semblance of movie’s storyline with recent Pakistani hit ‘Actor in Law’.

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 11th August, 2018) The trailer of upcoming Bollywood movie ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’ was released yesterday.

Watching the trailer, one can’t ignore the semblance of movie’s storyline with recent Pakistani hit ‘Actor in Law’.

“Just saw the #BattiGulMeterChaluTrailer . Major dejavu! reminds me a lot of my film “Actor in law”. Great to see that our neighbours are now taking inspiration from our movies,” tweeted Mehwish Hayat after watching the trailer.

While Batti Gul Meter Chalu stars Bollywood duo Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, Actor in law featured Mehwish Hayat and Fahad Mustafa. Electricity crisis and sky-rocketing bills is what we found common in the two movies.

Moreover, Shahid Kapor will play the role of a lawyer in the movie defending his case while Fahad Mustafa also took to the court in Actor in Law.

Now watch Actor in Law’s trailer:

Quite similar, no?

Nonetheless, awareness to the issue of electricity crisis is imperative in both the countries and the movies are just doing so. Moreover, we hope that the entertainment industries of the two countries can bridge the gap that halts better relations with the government and people across the border.
