LAHORE: An eager crowd of acclaimed actress Mahira Khan’s fans, dispersed disappointedly, after waiting outside Hall 2 of the Alhamra Art Centre for an hour.
Mahira Khan’s session on her recently released social drama film ‘Verna’, moderated by actor and filmmaker Sarmad Khoosat flanked by Mira Hashmi, was scheduled to take place on the concluding day of the esteemed Faiz International Festival. It had already been the popular choice for all visitors to attend, but only a handful of them were able to enter the hall’s premises. A humongous sea of crowd huddled outside the hall, as per schedule; Khan’s session was to be held between 4pm to 5pm. People were excited to attend for many reasons out of which, one was that filmmaker Shoaib Mansoor had made a film after a hiatus of seven years, post critically acclaimed films such as ‘Khuda Ke Liye’ and ‘Bol’. The session was to be held on his third film. Secondly, the sea of crowd was eager to attend the film’s session because of the recent controversy it had created which involved hurdles in the film’s release.
