actually in many bollywood films ( not all ) muslims don't have the qasai look but succumb to another stereotype : either as
@Jaanbaz said they are terrorists or they have to be ultra-nationalist or they must be some old karim chacha, with no mention of the progressive muslim who is neither a bhakt of qaeda nor hesitates in criticizing the political/economic/social system of india... in fact no mention of the muslim artistes and writers and technicians who exist within bollywood and in fact were crucial in the post-1947 construction of bollywood.
and a constant affectation among the three stereotypes is the muslim is introduced into the story as always finishing the morning prayer... that is so funny.
i remember only two good films where a muslim was the protagonist : 'garam hawa' ( farooq sheikh wa the hero ) and 'salim langde pe mat ro' ( pavan malhotra was the hero, salim ), though i haven't seen the second film.
this must change and srk's 'my name is khan' and aamir's pk ( pk was a alien without any earthly religion ) have created space for a muslim hero in these modern troubled times.
however, i must mention one place where the qasai look was utilized... the central censor board chief, pahlaj nihalani, made a videographic lyrical ode to modi in late 2015 and it turned out to be hilarious and was laughed at by so many people... in it there is a muslim who is made to look like salman khan in 'dabangg' but in a qasai style and the result is he looks like a chindi chor (

watch the hilarious vid in which has so many "india is great" things" including a made-in-india space station (
