Pakistan’s arguably most prominent star, Mahira Khan, is all set to return to the small screen with Express Entertainment’s upcoming venture, Razia. The renowned star was last seen on television in the 2021 serial, Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay. Khan previously shared the first look of her role in an Instagram post. On Tuesday, the award-winning artist shared the first teaser of the drama with a caption.
Clad in a niqab, the Raees star delivers a powerful monologue while standing in a crowded space as onlookers gawk at her. Sharing the clip, Khan penned, “When I heard the story, I said yes in a heartbeat. Grateful to be part of this story, no less the narrator of it.” She went on to add, “Soon you will be welcomed to the world of Razia. May all our good intentions and hard work at off. Ameen.
The show stars Mohib Mirza, Momal Sheikh in lead roles. Mirza, who last starred in the 2021 horror show, Neeli Zinda Hai, made the announcement on social media. “An important story to tell,” the Ishrat: Made in China actor wrote.
Previously, Khan surprised her fans with a picture of her new character on the photo-sharing app. “Razia. Coming soon on Express Entertainment,” read her caption. The picture saw Khan sitting in an amusement park or a fair with her back towards the camera flaunting the colourful paranda in her hair.
The second picture featuring multi-coloured bangles revealed the project’s name. The project started filming in June. Other details about the cast, release dates and the creative team are not known yet. From the looks of it, Khan may be playing a feisty Punjabi woman in the drama and fans are excited already!
