Despite all his activities in Lahore, his comments made me 
today
“Ali also reveals that he has been offered an International production on the lines of Bend It Like Beckham and that he might make a big screen appearance. “I want to have some international recognition so people can recognise me and my country all over the world,” he says displaying a patriotic streak. The grass may seem greener on the other side, agrees Ali but reiterates that he is not inclined to make it big in India. “I’d rather be a part of improving the cinema here than go and be successful in Bollywood. My objective is not to be a Bollywood superstar. It’s very easy to run away from troubles but it’s hard to stay on the ground and face them. I choose the latter.” He feels that staying here and working for cinema would be a better option for him. He wants to be remembered as part of a revolution that turned around the dying fate of cinema in Pakistan. Ali is vague about what he is doing but according to him he is working in a couple of projects to ‘revive cinema’ in Pakistan. Knowing his media savvy nature well by now, I’m sure he spill the beans when the time is right.”
