Sonya Hussyn was offered a film with Emraan Hashmi, adding her to the list of talented Pakistani actors who have caught the eye of Indian filmmakers. In a candid interview with Independent Urdu, Sonya shared intriguing details about her career choices and her thoughts on working with notable co-stars, including offers from the Indian film industry.
Sonya Hussyn Was Offered a Film with Emraan Hashmi
During the interview, Sonya disclosed that she had received three film offers from India, a testament to her rising fame and talent. Among these offers, one stood out—a film with Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi. "For that one, I even had a meeting with the relevant people, but then the exchange with India stopped altogether," she explained. This halt in collaboration was a result of the geopolitical tensions following the Uri attack, which led to a ban on Pakistani artists working in India.
Despite the missed opportunity, Sonya's revelations highlights the interest Indian filmmakers have in Pakistani talent. She also mentioned other intriguing offers, including a Shakespearean adaptation of "Measure for Measure" and a sequel to a classic Santosh Kumar film. These offers highlight the versatility and appeal of Pakistani actors in the broader South Asian film industry.
