Pakistani model and actor Kubra
Khan (also known as Rabia Khan), who played the role of a bank manager in the
recently released Pakistani hit film, Na Maloom Afraad, is now all set to make
her Bollywood presentation with film “Welcome to Karachi”
Kubra told that she is playing
the role of a lead girl in this project working along with the amazing Arshad Warsi and
Jackky Bhagnani. She said that she was independently approached by the casting
director, who had seen some of her previous works. She added, "I had to go
through the traditional auditions and the team happened to like my work so here
I am”.
According to Times of India, Irfan
Khan was initially approached to play the lead male role, but he refused when
he found out that Kubra Khan was playing the lead female role. Irfan Khan apparently
wanted Bollywood actor Nargis Fakhri to be cast opposite him.
When asked to comment on Irrfan's
decision, Kubra said: "I have a lot of respect for Irfan Khan and he
certainly has the right to his opinion. I don't think there is anything wrong
in wanting to work with a colleague of his choice." Speaking about the success of Na
Maloom Afraad, Kubra shared that the film's success also changed things for
her. "However, after the success,
receiving such warm response and acceptance from the audience it is extremely devastating.Kubra further added,I am extremely grateful to Nabeel Qureshi (director) and Fizza Ali Mirza
(producer) for making me a part of this amazing project."
Directed by Ashish R. Mohan,
Welcome to Karachi is an irony about two Indians who get stranded in Karachi
without any proper travel documents.
The film is expected to release
in 2015.
Kubra also shared her picture with co-stars of welcome to Karachi.
