Producer Rahul Dholakia, who coordinated Mahira Khan in the 2017 film Raees, says Indians have “wronged” the Pakistani performing artist.
Mahira addressed film news stage Bollywood Hungama while she was in Dubai for the Masala! Awards 2017 and stated, “Whether it was Shah Rukh Khan or Rahul or Ritesh Batra or Farhan Akhtar, they all have been so amazing. At the end of the day, it’s about films, which is bigger than all of us combined. The film needed to be released. The film had to do well. They were all amazing. They still are.”
Dholakia found it “so sweet”.
He shared the link to Mahira’s interview on Twitter on Friday, and commented, “Somewhere I feel we have wronged her. Our people forgot that she is an artist, not the enemy! We took away her right as an actor! Unfair. Mahira Khan, you are wonderful and thank you for being a part of Raees.”
