Zara Sheikh: Joins Indo-Pakistan Venture

KABHI Pyar Na Karna [Never Fall In Love] a joint production between India and Pakistan was shot in Mumbai last month.

It is the first time that a Pakistan film production company Kawaja Tariq-Ul-Fazal Tahir has joined hands to make a film with Indian film producers Sheet Srivastava (Overall Entertainment) with Pakistani actors Moammar Rana Zara Sheikh and India actress Neha Dhupia.

With the crossover happening from Pakistan to India in a big way, has Neha Dhupia set a precedent for Indian actress to go to Pakistan?

But what will really create sensation is her item number in a Pakistani film. She is a little surprised to hear it being referred to as an item number.

It's a song and dance number and is a very integral part of the film. You could say that I am doing a guest appearance in the film with the song. I share screen time with the hero, Muammar Rana, in it, she reveals.

It's a Rajasthani song sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. I have a Rajasthani look in it and there are lots of other dancers. It is a fast number and does involve heavy movements but I still don't regard it as an item number in that sense.

Zara in 'Laaj'

Zara Sheikh has already appeared in then Rauf Khalid's Laaj, a super hit all-over Pakistan.

The film is based on Kashmir with romantic story added in it, the film is a heavy budget good directed movie with excellent performance of Talat Hussain.

The film did a very good business just at the first day on the cinema.

What's more about Rauf is that Rauf is a friendly person, I may get very personal here, Zara says by adding; 'But we often used to disturb Rauf by calling him and he always talked till the time we ourselves dropped the phone and never misbehaved like other stars may do.●
