Pakistani actor Ali Raza recently shared that he received an offer from the famous Indian production house, Yash Raj Films (YRF). Ali, a newcomer making his mark with dramas like Mohabbat Gumshuda Meri, Noor Jahan, and Duniyapur, is currently gaining popularity with his show Iqtidar.
At a press event for Iqtidar, Ali told Miss Dramatic how YRF approached him through Instagram, asking for an audition. They requested he act out a scene by Ranbir Kapoor from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. After liking his audition, they asked him to book a flight from Kolkata. That’s when Ali explained he was from Lahore, Pakistan. This led to disappointment on both sides, as YRF said they would only consider him for overseas projects in the future.
