Although, he remained tight-lipped about the ‘mysterious’ project, but expressed his sentiments and ‘wish’ to cast either Mahira Khan or India’s  Katrina Kaif will be asked to feature as the leading actress of his yet-to-be-titled telefilm.

While speaking to a leading news channel, Ramiz explained that his movie will revolve around how to eradicate terrorism and violence through cricket. Furthermore, he promised his fans that the movie will be full of suspense and action. We’re totally excited and now you know why.

No Indian actor or actress of such a fame-category has been cast in any Pakistani movie yet. If either of Sanjay Dutt, or Katrina Kaif, or even both sign for the movie, this will be the first time to famed Bollywood celebrities will be starring in a Lollywood movie.

Mahira Khan’s Bollywood debut in Raees, alongside Shahrukh Khan, has earned her a lot of appreciation and fame. She is also the only Pakistani actress who has worked in Hollywood and crossed the Rs. 100 crore benchmark. Mahira alongside Sanjay Dutt in a movie produced by Ramiz Raja – if that doesn’t get you excited then we don’t know what will!
