Zakir Khan Slams Filmmakers Over Dialogue Writing: 'Don't Force... English Mein Hi Bana Lo'
Standup comedian Zakir Khan asks filmmakers to 'relax' and urges them to not translate every word.

Standup comedian Zakir Khan recently took to social media and urged filmmakers to not force themselves from translating dialogues. He explained that if something is said or conveyed in English, it maybe difficult to translate it to another language ‘word to word’. Khan asked filmmakers to ‘relax’ and went on to say that there is no need to translate every word.

“Dear filmmakers, when you hire a dialogue writer, let them write. Dont force to just translate. An English expression is an ‘English Fu*king Expression’ which cannot be translated to Hindi word to word. Also Hindi bolne wale log bahut saare words English mein bol lete hai. Toh dost relax! har word translate karvane ki zaroorat nahi hai,” the comedian wrote.

Khan further asked filmmakers to trust their dialogue writers and added, “Maine jitna suna the ki film making is a collaborative process, toh hire someone you trust. Ya phir English me hi bana lo”. Check out Zakir Khan’s story here:
