T-Series's
Kajraare
directed
by
Pooja
Bhatt
had
been
announced
a
while
back
with
none
other
than
Himesh
Reshammiya
playing
the
lead.
However
the
hunt
for
the
female
lead
was
still
on.
Now
it
seems
T-series
and
Pooja
have
finally
found
their
leading
lady.
The
lady
in
question
is
Mona
Laiza
a
popular
Pakistani
T.V.
actress.
"We
were
looking
for
a
girl
who
had
the
innocence
in
her
and
was
from
Pakistan.
It
was
not
easy,
Kajraare
being
an
Indo-Pak
love
story.
We
checked
out
more
than
70
girls
and
finally
zeroed
in
on
Mona
Laiza.
The
look
of
the
film
is
different
and
we
are
still
in
the
process
of
finalizing
the
look
of
the
characters",
says
T-Series
creative
director
Divya
Khosla
Kumar.
Pooja
Bhatt
adds,
"Javed
Sheikh
was
very
instrumental
in
helping
us
get
Mona.
She
fits
the
role
opposite
Himesh
perfectly
and
we
are
hoping
Javedji
will
also
do
an
interesting
role
in
the
film".
The
Bhatts
had
earlier
worked
with
another
Pakistani
actress
Meera
in
their
film
Nazar
which
bombed
at
the
box-office.
Hope
Mona
Laiza
proves
lucky
for
Pooja
and
the
team
of
Kajraare
this
time
around.
The
film
a
love
story
starring
Himesh
as
a
lawyer
would
be
shot
in
Lahore,
Morocco
and
Europe.
