Maya Ali feels 'blessed' to be working with Shoaib Mansoor

It was earlier announced that renowned director Shoaib Mansoor will be working on a feature film with Maya Ali and Emmad Irfani. The film was expected to go on the floor in December.

Now, Ali has shared a candid picture of herself with Mansoor, marking the beginning of their venture together, with the two appearing engulfed in the project. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the Teefa in Trouble actor wrote, "First day on the set of #ABG, blessed to have gotten a chance to work with the great Shoaib Sahab."

Ali's cohorts also shipped the maven and the starlet’s affiliation. "Aaaah! Best of luck Maya! You’re working with the best," commented Mahira Khan, who’s worked with Mansoor numerous times. "Best of luck Maya," added Minal Khan. "All the best Maya," remarked Zara Noor Abbas.

At present, not much is known about the film. But it will mark the first time Irfani plays a prominent role in a feature. The Jalan actor had expressed his excitement over the prospect of working with Mansoor earlier.

“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 had told The Express Tribune. Irfani also shared how he felt about working with Ali, “Maya is a very good actress and I'm sure we will make a good team under Shoaib Mansoor’s captaincy.”

Ali was last seen in Parey Hut Love alongside Sheheryar Munawar, while, Irfani made a cameo in 7 Din Mohabbat In. Mansoor’s last film was Khan and Haroon Shahid's Verna.
