Maya Ali and Emmad Irfani to star in Shoaib Mansoor’s next film

The title of the upcoming project is yet to be disclosed

KARACHI:

Veteran Pakistani director Shoaib Mansoor is reportedly working on a new feature film. At present, not much is known about the film other than it featuring actors Maya Ali and Emmad Irfani in lead roles.

This will be the first time Irfani will be seen playing a prominent role in a feature film. The Jalan actor expressed excitement over the prospect of working with Mansoor. “I'm really excited and looking forward to working with someone of the stature of Shoiab sahib (sir). To me, it is an opportunity of a lifetime as he is a colossus when it comes to modern Pakistan cinema,” Irfani told The Express Tribune.

The actor also went on to share his thoughts about working with Ali in the project. “Maya is a very good actress and I'm sure we will make a good team under Shoaib Mansoor’s captaincy!” he said. The upcoming film is expected to go on the floor in December this year.

Ali and Irfani have never shared the screen with each other, be it film or TV. Ali was last seen in the film Parey Hut Love alongside Sheheryar Munawar. She is set to make a return to TV with the upcoming serial Pehli Si Mohabbat.

Meanwhile, Irfani made a cameo appearance in the movie 7 Din Mohabbat In. His most recent project includes the TV serial Jalan.

Mansoor’s last film was Verna that had Mahra Khan and Haroon Shahid in lead roles.
