My Bollywood debut film is a little like Piku, says Saba Qamar

Saba Qamar will star opposite Irrfan Khan in this film

07 Apr, 2016

After her film debut in Manto as Noor Jehan, Saba Qamar snapped up a lead role in Wajahat Rauf's highly awaited follow-up to Karachi Se Lahore, titled Lahore Se Aagey.

But she won't be stopping to catch her breath after that shoot's wrapped up.

Saba says she'll soon be flying off to India for her big Bollywood break.

In this debut Bollywood film, Saba will star opposite The Lunchbox actor Irrfan Khan.

"It's a family-oriented story of a husband and wife. It has a young, fresh vibe and the wife is a little dominating. People will surely like it," she said to Images. "The film is a little like that Deepika film, Piku."

The film will be directed by Saket Chaudhry of Shaadi Ke Side Effects and Pyaar Ke Side Effects fame. It will be produced by Illuminati Films, which has previously backed titles like Love Aaj Kal and Cocktail.

Saba will begin filming in July this year.

I am the most happiest person to heard this news even more than saba qamar herself. As an Indian, I like Saba qamar more than any pakistani actress . She should be in the Raees opposite SRK. By the way, All the best..

Saba Qamar is one of the most talented actress of Pakistan, her appearence with Irfan khan will certainly be a very good start with Saba. Good luck Saba Qamar,

She is the most gifted and versatile actress of Pakistan today. She is a big star in Pak and there is no doubt that she will give an impressive debut across the border too. Buckle up for her storm India.

@Arvind Mittal Because the Pakistani cinema industry was destroyed systematically for quite a number of years (approx: 20-30) and cinema was dead in Pakistan not a long ago. It is only due to the efforts of some very hard working men and women that we are seeing some of the movies being released in Pakistan now but that number is still quite low. Due to very few work opportunities in films here in Pakistan, our actors always look for Bollywood for opportunities.
