Pakistani film industry has existed for a long time but we never saw a bad period like this. Though i have mentioned nearly all the major reasons related to the fall of film industry in my old articles including the economical, political and socials ones. But till a very important factor has been left out and that is the non entrance of new faces on the silver screen and the repeat of old faces in every film. If we look at the period of last 15 to 20 years we see that every film (yes every film) has the same faces of SHAN, SAIMA, SAUD, BABAR ALI, MOMER RANA, REEMA, MEERA, RESHAM. These face have become so old and have been looked so many times by the viewers that now the viewers can even tell the amount of hairs on their heads.
Shan is the most busy and more casted actor. He is also considered the most expensive actor (HERO will be more suitable word) of Pakistan. Along him comes MOMER RAANA who is considered the only rival of SHAAN in Lolly-Wood but even he does not really has the potential or talent to compete SHAAN. The third most common and old face is of SAIMA. No doubt in Pakistani Cinema she occupies the place of a queen (REEMA KHAN may mind it) and she is really a queen now. Old queen. A major reason for her continuous appearance in the movies is that she is the second wife of SAYED NOOR (the most busy) Lolly-Wood filmmaker. And he always prefer SAIMA on any other actress. Even if he has to cast a heroin for the role of college girl he will ask SAIMA for the role.
All these actors have been working for around 15 years. Though it is not a long period but we people are fed up because every movie has these old faces. On the other hand the filmmakers are not willing to take new faces as it might even make them loose that small audience which still visits cinemas.
On the other hand the sensible audience has already stopped visiting cinemas. And they are waiting for new faces like of IMAN ALI (who was in the lead role in KHUDA KE LIE).
