Mahira Khan got the big opportunity to work with superstar Shahrukh Khan in her debut Bollywood film, but things went against her favour and the actress was being affected by tensions between India and Pakistan.
She even couldn't promote her film. Mahira said, she always wanted her first film as "Introducing Mahira Khan" but it didn’t happen for her first film in Pakistan, "That’s what my mother also says! And my friends! But I can’t just move on. It’s my work. Yes I’m grateful, but it’s something I have worked for! Why shouldn’t I feel it? Just because I’m an actor? Just because it’s a film? Just because it seems like fluff? I also want to promote the film. I also want to be in an interview with Shah Rukh Khan talking about it. Why not? Why is it I get told that that’s asking for too much? It isn’t! It is my right. This was also my film."
As the film is not releasing in Pakistan, "I want my country to see this. I want everybody to see it, every person in the world. My friends keep saying you did it, it’s enough, you can just keep it in a box somewhere…I do that, but there’s a part of me that says, no, I want everybody to see my blood sweat and tears for these two years, because it’s been tough and I want people to see it even if I fail at it," she said.
