Haider Sultan Criticizes Humayun Saeed & Film Love Guru

Haider Sultan, the son of Pakistan’s legendary actor Sultan Rahi, has recently made headlines after openly criticizing Humayun Saeed and his latest film Love Guru. Known for his strong opinions and connection to Pakistan’s golden era of cinema, Haider Sultan shared his honest views about modern Lollywood films and why some of them fail to impress audiences.

During a recent interview, Haider Sultan spoke about the current state of Pakistani cinema and gave his opinion on Humayun Saeed’s acting choices. He said that casting plays a major role in a film’s success, and when casting does not fit the character, it affects the overall quality of the movie. According to him, it is important for actors to choose roles that match their age and personality so that audiences can connect with them.

Haider Sultan specifically mentioned that Humayun Saeed no longer suits college boy roles, and viewers find it difficult to believe such characters. He explained that people now accept Humayun Saeed only in mature and realistic roles that match his screen presence. “If Humayun Saeed plays a college student, no one will believe it,” he said. “Audiences only accept him in strong and suitable characters.”

Haider Sultan also emphasized that the success of any film depends heavily on correct casting. He said that when the right actor is chosen for the right role, it increases the chances of the movie becoming a hit. He pointed out that in successful industries like Bollywood, stars such as Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan play roles that match their age and personality, which helps them stay relevant to the audience.

He added that a good film is not just about big names or star power but about creating a balance between story, direction, and proper casting. According to him, ignoring these key factors leads to weak storytelling and poor audience response.

Haider Sultan’s Criticism of Love Guru

Talking about Love Guru, Haider Sultan claimed that the movie lacks originality. He alleged that the film is a copy of a previous Indian story that also featured Salman Khan in the lead role. He expressed disappointment that Humayun Saeed continues to choose similar types of movies instead of exploring fresh and creative scripts.

Haider said that he had even given suggestions to Humayun Saeed about improving the quality and diversity of his films, but the actor prefers to stick with his usual style. “I shared my thoughts with him about making better films, but he continues to repeat the same formula,” Haider commented.

Love Guru was recently released, starring Humayun Saeed opposite Mahira Khan. While the film created buzz before its release due to the popular pairing, it received mixed reviews from audiences. Some viewers appreciated the chemistry between the lead actors, but others criticized the movie for its predictable storyline and repetitive themes.

Mahira Khan also faced criticism for her age difference with the male lead, but both she and Humayun Saeed responded by saying that they do not focus on negative comments and prefer to concentrate on their work. They believe that acting is about performing a role with honesty, regardless of age or appearance.

Haider Sultan’s comments have once again sparked a debate in the Pakistani film industry about creativity, casting, and the need for originality in storytelling. His honest opinions reflect what many fans also feel about the repetitive nature of local films.
