Pooja Bhatt has found the girl who will star opposite Himesh Reshammiya in her next, Kajra Re, in Pakistan. The lead girl Mona Liza, is a popular Pakistani TV actress. She has been staying in a posh suburban hotel in Juhu for the last few days and all efforts are being made to keep her away from media glare. Our well-placed source from the industry informs us, “Pooja found her after auditioning nearly 70 girls.”
How did the hunt for a lead girl take her across the border? Our source says, “When Pooja couldn’t get the heroine in India, she contacted Javed Sheikh (Pakistani actor) and asked him to recommend some names since the character is that of a Pakistani girl. Javed sent her some pictures and Pooja liked Mona Liza, called her up and asked her to come down to India.” Has Himesh met Mona? “No, though he has seen her pictures,” our source replies.
Pooja Bhatt confirmed that Mona Liza will star opposite Himesh in Kajra Re. She said, “Yes, Mona Liza is the girl. I am very happy with my selection. She is slim, pretty and a very good dancer.”
To be shot in Lahore, Morocco and Europe, Kajra Re is apparently inspired from a real-life story set in pre-Independence India where a lawyer (played by Himesh) falls in love with a Moroccan girl. Everything goes fine, till the day the girl disappears. Not the one to give up, the lawyer tracks her down to a red light area in Lahore.
