While Mathira’s sister, Rose is all set for a film debut with the upcoming Azaad it seems that her sister become more selective about big screen projects since Mein Hoon Shahid Afridi.

According to Roznama Express, the VJ turned actor refused to do an item number for Sahir Lodhi’s debut feature film Mausam. Mathira has stated that the reason why she has refused to do the item song is because she would not be doing any more item numbers in films. She only wants to star as the female lead.

The shoot for Lodhi’s film had begun a few months back but came to a halt after only a few days of progress, states Roznama Express. After Mathira refused to do the item number in his film, Lodhi has already approached a well known model to fill in for her but the name of the model will be disclosed once the deal has been finalised.

In an earlier interview with The Express Tribune, Lodhi had stated that films were always his first love and Television became his mainstay as a mere coincident.  He emphasised on maintaining very high standards in his upcoming film, which is why he has a mix of experienced and inexperienced people on his production team.

“This isn’t a run-of-the-mill, typical Lollywood or even Bollywood project. Instead, it’s aesthetics can be related to Hollywood films because while it is a romantic film, the emotional concept behind it is very different from usual,” he said.

We wish both Mathira and Lodhi luck in their upcoming ventures and are eager to witness what both of them have to showcase as part of their big screen dreams.
