He is of the view that this year holds significance for the LGBT coterie as mainstream cinema is treating this community with respect. “A man from across the border, especially because of Pakistan’s inherently conservative society, had the guts to play the role of a gay man without any qualms,” he added. “Kapoor & Sons is worth celebrating because of Fawad,” Onir said while speaking to The Times of India about his panel discussion scheduled to take place at the sixth edition of Kashish International Queer Film Festival. Indian filmmaker Onir, who directed My Brother…Nikhil (2005), is all praises for Khan and the fact that he had the guts to play such a character despite coming from a country like Pakistan. He was one of the lead characters alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt and played a homosexual in the film. After his outstanding performance in Kapoor & Sons, Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan has become the new sensation in India as he has everyone praising him for his work in the film.
