he female lead for ‘Kajraare’ from Pakistan

T-Series’s ‘Kajraare’, an intense Indo-Pak love story, directed by Pooja Bhatt with Himesh Reshammiya in the lead role, had been announced a while back but the female face was still missing from the chain. Now, finally the hunt is over, as the popular Pakistani TV actress, Monalaizza, has been chosen for the role.

“Monalaizza’s character is very intense and spans a lot of emotions. We had to look for an actress who would be Pakistani and yet had the persona to essay a character who remains herself though there is a lot in store for her in that journey that is called life through KAJRAARE…”, said Divya Kumar, the creative director of the film.

Director Pooja Bhatt is very happy with the choice and says, “It was Javed Shaikh who helped us find Monalaizza. And she suits the character very well. We checked out over 70 actresses before we finalized her.”

Monalaizza, not to mention, is beaming with joy, “It is a beautiful character and the emotions that I have to essay are immense. I feel privileged to be selected by Divya Kumar and Pooja Bhatt for this character.”

The film, a love story starring Himesh as a lawyer, would be shot in Lahore, Morocco and Europe.
