Shaan the Gangfather! B{
Where he plays an executive from the classy elite in Mobilink Indigo commercials; a moderate muslim musician who stands up against extremist views in Khuda Kay Liye, he is also there to portray the usual image of a notorious Gujjar Badmash in movies like these…
Peo Badmashan Daa
(The Father of all Gangsters)
One wonders, how come an actor like Shaan transitions between portrayals of two extremes; from a sensible actor to a howling Gujjar!

itta tomato katchup zaya kar dia, Mitchels ka hay ya Shezan ka?
Maybe i got flu, at first glance i read it as
“Pappu Badmaash Daa” :|
*LOOk at their famous mustaches ;)
@PS: I read it as Pappu too at first :-)
And after my 15 minute quota of laugh and wondering that is it comedy thriller comedy action or what genre, I re-read and it was Piyo :-)
Apart from shaan, even momi looked so nice without these gujjar mustache – why our filmmakers are so obsessed with these mustache :|
and lol @ opee too :P
You can always use the idea ;-)
@AFP: :D lolzz…….kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta hai main is dunya main akaile nahi hon :D :D
>>>>why our filmmakers are so obsessed with these mustache :|
Cuz “mucch nai, tay kucch nai” ;)
Do you guys know Shaan just became a father of triplets, girls :)
I think Shan is the real Hulk of Pakistan. Damn handsome, got great style etc etc etc. How I wish he had support of a wealthy industry too. We have a habit of signing off our own people. I think in looks , style and acting (for action movies ofcourse :)) you can compare him with any of the action heroes of hollywood. And bollywood simply has no match for him.
Shan zindabad.
Why people are against gujjars and mustaches is beyond me. Its our culture people.
@PS – triplets — coool :D
yup you are not alone :P

Gujjars are our culture? And what about this pashto movie clip? Is this our culture too?

@Ahmed: Gujjar is the name of a cast. People belonging to this cast live in many areas of indian subcontinent, including Pakistan. So yes they are very much a part of our culture and tradition just like everyone else.
For your info, many cities in Pakistan have been named after Gujjars, including Gujranwala, Gujjar Khan, Gojra, and Gujrat.
For more info:

I dont know how is the movie clip that you have pasted linked to this topic.
Regards,
Gujjars are as much Pakistani as any of other castes. The objection is on ‘Maar Kuttai’ culture as portrayed in thid kind of movies
Well an action movie is precisely about “mar kutai”.
court kacheri, dushamn dari has been a part of the culture of punjab well before shan or advent of cinema. You can read many lok dastans to confirm that.
