Pakistani actress Mahira Khana's Bollywood debut film, "Raees",
which has not yet released in Pakistan is keeping people waiting in the neighbouring
country the actress said at a press conference here.
Along with Shahrukh Khan, Mahira the film's leading lady, who
couldn't promote the film due to the ban imposed on Pakistani artists in India,
joined in via video call on Friday .
The actress said: "Raees is releasing soon in Pakistan
and believe me everybody is waiting for the film just like people had waited
all over the world and I believe that it is going to do amazing business here."
The "Humsafar" actress shared how her family reacted
to the film. "The big fear was people will come to watch the movie and
hoot for Shahrukh, not for me. When my family watched the movie, they were also
screaming for him."
"But the kind of response I received has been completely
fantastic and I am very grateful," she added.
Sharing the experience of working with King Khan, Mahira, 32,
said, "I was nervous as hell. Sometimes I used to wish I wasn't a big Shahrukh
fan. It was scary but it got beeter, especially after we shot 'Zaalima'. Working
with him is a dream come true. Nothing short of that."
The actress who was seen grooving in the songs "Udi Udi
Jaye" and "Zaalima" in the film, stated, "I've to rehearse
a lot for the songs. The choreographers used to give me examples of the other
great Bollywood actresses."
Post release of the film, the "Raees" team is soon
going to release another song of the movie which was edited to make short the
length of the running time.
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the film also stars Nawazuddin
Siddiqui in a pivotal role.
