Kumail Nanjiani (he’s a proud Karachiite)
Karachi has ppl from all over south asia, even central asia,iran .. heck even arabs,chinese n africans.By Karachite it doesnt necessarily mean your intention was racist. Like some of the Pak folks do here. The usual rants of racial difference than rest of the subcontinent. Some of the people may have taken this post that way and questioned about the intention. A karachite can be anything. Total subcontinent population has representation there. Even Bengalis. By meaning Karachite, there is always probability that man has ancestral background some remote corner of the subcontinent.
I feel a Bangladeshi or Indian actor would have been better. See the Pakistani filthy mentality proudly being displayed here.I don't know what your point is. That Rais is not as pretty as Kumail?
Better yet - I am glad Kumail doesn't have the same mentality as you do. Otherwise he wouldn't agree to do a movie about Rais. Clearly he sees value in the story which you have failed to grasp....
Soon Haseena lead mukti bahni protests would be held in BD. Surely they will be chantingRuffalo, Nanjiani to star in film on Bangladesh Air Force officer

Bhuiyan, the Bangladeshi native, decides to seek out his attacker and grant him forgiveness, while starting a campaign against the death penalty in their state
Acclaimed Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín is set to direct his upcoming film “The True American,” based on a Bangladesh Air Force officer’s actual accounts, starring the ‘Hulk’ star Mark Ruffalo and Kumail Nanjiani from “The Big Sick.” The project is being produced by Oscar Winning director Kathryn Bigelow and backed by Annapurna Pictures, the studio behind many Academy Award winning films like “Zero Dark Thirty” and “Her.”
The film is based on the non-fiction book, “The True American: Murder and Mercy In Texas,” written by Anand Giridharadas, which revolves around the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It will tell the story of Rais Bhuiyan, a Muslim immigrant and Bangladesh Air Force veteran, played by Nanjiani, who barely escapes a killing spree (that leaves two others dead) perpetrated by Mark Stroman, the self-proclaimed “Arab-slayer,” played by Ruffalo.
Bhuiyan, the Bangladeshi native, however tries to save his attacker from the death penalty. He decides to seek out his attacker and grant him forgiveness, while starting a campaign against the death penalty in their state.
According to a recent report published by Empire, the project has already created a buzz in Hollywood for having massive potentials and currently being taken to the next steps to becoming a reality.
Bigelow, producer of “The True American,” previously lined up Tom Hardy and Riz Ahmed for the lead roles. Larraín took it over last year and is locking his chosen cast.
On the other hand, Ruffalo returns as Dr. Bruce Banner (Hulk) in “Avengers: Infinity War,” slated to be released on April 26. Nanjiani is currently working on the latest season of “Silicon Valley,” which kicks off this week.
“The True American” will begin production depending on the availability of its supposed stars. According to another recent report by Screen Rant, Nanjiani’s schedule is clear for now, though Ruffalo is allegedly in line to play Don Hewitt in this fall’s “Newsflash,” set for a November release, after he completes the press tour for “Avengers: Infinity War.” Annapurna Pictures is hopeful that they can start production as soon as Ruffalo’s schedule clears up.
Rais Bhuiyan, the Bangladesh Air Force officer the film is based on, was a student of Sylhet Cadet College who later on went to New York City to study computer technology. After the September 11 terror attacks, Mark Anthony Stroman shot Bhuiyan, attempting to kill him as he was a Muslim. Bhuiyan survived, but lost sight in one of his eyes. Bhuiyan gained media attention after revealing that he would appeal to the court to save Stroman, his shooter, from the death penalty. Later on he started a movement named “World Without Hate” to prevent hate crimes through education and worked with Amnesty International.
Irfan Khan is certainly a far better actor but he's too old unfortunately. In fact he's older than Bhuiyan himself.I feel a Bangladeshi or Indian actor would have been better. See the Pakistani filthy mentality proudly being displayed here.
I Think Irfan Khan would have been better. What do you think?
With proper makeup, younger looks can be created.Irfan Khan is certainly a far better actor but he's too old unfortunately. In fact he's older than Bhuiyan himself.
I dont know what you guys are talking about. Rais at the time of attack was much better looking than this hawk faced actor.
he also has developed some health problem, a tumor, as fair as i recall.Irfan Khan is certainly a far better actor but he's too old unfortunately. In fact he's older than Bhuiyan himself.
Nope we will make a movie of Haseena sleeping with modi.I think he'd rather make a movie about the (ahem) relationship triangle between Asif, Salman and Mudassir. EPIC!
British online publication The Independent called Asif and Mudassir's breakup "the greatest relationship tragedy since Romeo and Juliet".
Going by bango bango deshis individual posters claims made on this forum ,all of them are fair colored guys , so i wonder why these beautiful bangos are taking offence?
What’s more ironic .. I stand up to racists on this forum .. includin the likes of desert shyt fox & Pak forever ... who Moan about complexion n other pathetic shyt .. yet here I’m called out as a racist.Want to make a quick comment.
I personally dont think @DESERT FIGHTER had any racist intentions. At the very first look, it appeared to be quite informative in fact, as I have not seen Mr. Rais before and there was no pic in the OP as well. Thus, it actually isn't that negative as some of our friends have made out to be. Furthermore, I dont think any Pak members had made any racist comments here as well or made any comparison with the actor playing Mr. Rais's role.
As for the "Karachiite" comment, would there have be an issue with Pakistanis/Indians if we termed Mr. Rais as "Dhakaiyaa" or "Chatgaiyaa"? It just shows where the person is from, he can be from Karachi or Lahore or Peshawar for all we should care. Please take it easy.
Its true that many trolls/idiots here spew racist propaganda but does not mean we view everyone with the same glass. We are better than this and we need to show that.
Ironically all the bang bang deshis hitting the roof with their lungis flying around finding deserts post racist are the same guys like bilal9 , homosapiens and other bongo clowns .who had several times mentioned before us posters on this forum and in almost this manner " I am ahem ahem a fair complexioned guy , yes i know u will be surprised but i have a fair tone"
Going by bango bango deshis individual posters claims made on this forum ,all of them are fair colored guys , so i wonder why these beautiful bangos are taking offence? Infact kumail should not be considered good looking by the standards of the vairy vairy beautiful bang deshis on this forum.
Never will you find a race with so much inferiority complexes ridden mindsets and fake self victiminzation attention seeking disorder which is exactly what bangos used to cry about in 65 onwards period.
Anyways, back to the topic of a film on Hilsa airforce.
Nope we will make a movie of Haseena sleeping with modi.
