Ladies, feast your eyes on Fawad Khan! The actor, who is currently gearing up for his next action drama ‘Maula Jatt’, has outgrown his lean and charming avatar to embrace his buff side for director Bilal Lashari’s upcoming Pakistani film.

Have always hated photoshoots, being a motion picture actor have always found it very difficult to be still and literally freeze ( although one might argue that that's pretty much all I do in my films.... Freeze!). Shooting a publicity/promotional still is always easier than shooting normal photographs as you get to be in character and pose like the character would.
