Mahira to play Fawad Khan's muse in 'Neelofar' slated for release on 28th

KARACHI (Web Desk) - Fawad Khan is set to star alongside actress Mahira Khan in their long-awaited film ‘Neelofar,’ with the latter playing his muse in the movie that reunites the couple after three long years.

The duo is anticipated to create magic with their on-screen chemistry in the romantic drama movie, Neelofar, which is set for worldwide release on November 28.

Khan and Mahira this week spoke with the media on the sidelines of an event in Karachi, where they shared insights from Neelofar.

“It’s a story of a writer who is hit a block and he keeps coming to Lahore and on one such visit, he bumps into the most unlikely muse,” said Khan, who plays the role of a writer.

“I’m telling you a little bit of the story, but what are the odds that he’s going to bump into a woman out of what relation or what coincidence would he bump into a woman who’s visually impaired. And then it turns into this unbelievable romance.”
During the conversation, Mahira opened up about her role as Neelofar, saying the visually impaired woman, who is curious about things at the same time, “wants to do everything.”

“There is a part of her that’s so brave, that’s so curious, like, I almost want to be Neelofar. I feel very attached to Neelofar,” she said.

So, yeah, that curiosity, you know, that I want to experience this and I want to experience that. And the people that she chooses is very interesting.”

In Humsafar, Khan recalled, he and Mahira were like two completely lost souls.

“[In ‘Neelofar’], it’s as if these two wandering souls are actually being brought together by fate because they know that they are meant for each other,” he said, describing the movie as “an ode to Lahore.”
