Being inarguably one of the biggest stars of the country, everything Mahira Khan touches gains the media’s attention. With her busy shooting for her upcoming movie, titled Superstar, which co-stars Bilal Ashraf and is being directed by Ehteshamudin, there are many eyes keenly observing the development of the project. And the latest news about the movie that has appeared in the media says the film will have a dance number featuring the dancing star from across the border – Nora Fatehi.
Considering the on-going tensions between the two countries, this is certainly big news. Nora has featured in music videos for many hit songs and her appearance in a Pakistani film is bound to gain major attention. For instance, it immediately got our attention and we reached out to Momina Duraid, producer of Superstar, to find out the truth to this news.
The producer refutes the claims.
When we asked Momina to shed light on the details of this dance number, she outright refuted any such news that claims that the song number will be featuring any international face.
“There is a big song number in pipeline for Superstar, however, there is no truth to the news that it will feature anyone from across the border. We have not signed on any actress for the song as of yet. The process of shortlisting and finalizing the actress to feature in the song is still underway. All of the actresses that we are considering are Pakistani. We have not reached out to anyone else.”
Momina added that they are still planning for the song and will begin shooting for it shortly. The song number for Superstar will be shot on a grand scale and would be picturized on the film’s lead actor, Bilal Ashraf. Bilal, who plays the role of an actor in the film, will be seen shaking a leg with the not-yet-finalized Pakistani actress in the song.
Well, considering HumTV, who is responsible of producing and distributing the film, has a penchant of using music produced in India in its award shows, it didn’t seem completely out of character for them to rope in an Indian face to feature in their big movie’s big dance number. But this confirmation has put those speculations to rest.
However, it does give rise to more speculations. Who could this Pakistani actress be that could potentially feature in this grand song number? Personally, we’d love to see Humaima Malik take the stage for it. But that’s just us. Comment below who you’d like to see opposite Bilal Ashraf for this grand song. Until then, watch this space for more news and developments.
