The film, based on actors who struggle to get into Bollywood, will be Vipin Sharma's directorial debut.
Mathira's debut film will be directed by Vipin Sharma, the critically acclaimed actor, known for his character of a strict father in Taare Zameen Par. The film, based on actors who struggle to get into Bollywood, will be his directorial debut.
According to Absolute India, in which Mathira has been dubbed as the “Sunny Leone of Pakistan”, Bohra was “stunned” by Mathira’s talent. “Yes, Mathira is making her debut in our film. We go on the floors from November 3 and Mathira will be joining us on November 5,” he told the newspaper.
“A friend of mine from Dubai sent me her pictures and I was stunned. I showed the pictures to my director [Sharma], who suggested that we audition her,” he said. “She was super in the audition. We are excited to launch her,” he added.
Mathira, who was last seen in Bas Teri Hi Kami, an item song in feature film Main Hoon Shahid Afridi, is also very excited to have bagged a role in the film. “I am very excited to work with Vipin Sharma. I am doing a lead role in the film,” Mathira told The Express Tribune. “I will be joining them [the crew] in November,” she said.
She added that the shooting will be done in India but refrained from specifying any city.
We are surely waiting for a “pleasant surprise”, Mathira! Bring on the popcorn!

@fan no1 of mathira - I really dont think Mathira gives a hoot if you think she qualifies for the status of being a Muslim.
Mathira was born in Zimbabwe (February 25/1992) to a Pakistani mother and an African father so i dont think this she is muslim ??
@Pakistani:
Thanks. Please keep all the crap to yourself.
@ModiFied:
You can be impressed by her courage. You can praise the bravery of Pakistani women all you want.
But please don't insult the collective 'Common sense' of humanity by saying that Mathira has talent.
Mathira probably has as much talent as Aishwarya Rai. Only, she is not half as good looking.
Just so you understand my sarcasm, watching Aishwarya act is a torture. It is perhaps how Bhishma felt lying on a bed of thousand arrows.
@Parvez: I suppose your comment is a sarcasm on Mathira? I have watched Mathira on live shows. With all honesty and sincerity I can tell you that she is extremely talented, enlightened and confident girl. She is no Veena. Mathira is too bold an artists for main stream Pakistanis. Anyway, Best of Luck Mathira and welcome to Bollywood. May God bless you. .
Just loved the line.......Bohra was stunned by Mathira's talent ( made my day ).
It is a shame that our artists are willing to do any role in Bollywood for fame and money...I only hope she isn't the next Veena Malik!
