Mahesh Bhatt to shoot an entire Bollywood film – a Hindu-Muslim love story – in Pakistan’s cultural capital.
The romance saga will star Pakistani singing sensation Noumad opposite an Indian girl who’s still to be finalised. The untitled film will be directed by Mohit Suri who had earlier made “Awaarapan” – a small portion of which was shot in Lahore.
“It is a pre-partition ‘Titanic’. It’s a story of intense love between two culturally-crossed individuals during times of abject hatred. It’s the story of a Muslim boy who saves the Hindu girl from his own people and gives up his life in protecting her,” Bhatt told IANS.
“We’re introducing a new star from Pakistan and a completely new girl from Bharat (India). The Pakistani boy is Noumad, a singing sensation in his country,” said the filmmaker who has worked with quite a few Pakistani artists, including actress Meera in “Zeher”.
This would be the first Bollywood film to be shot entirely in Pakistan.
