Hina Khan To Make Her Bollywood Debut With A Woman Centric Film?

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai's Akshara and Kasautii Zindagi Kay's Komolika will reportedly now also make her presence felt in the Hindi film industry as well. If reports are to be believed, Hina Khan has given her nod to a Bollywood film, where she will play the lead. Farida Jalal will also be a part of the film and will be seen portraying the role of her grandmother!

Hina, who is from Kashmir, will apparently play an independent girl from Kashmir and the film will be set in the 90s. The film will be directed by Hussain Khan and will be jointly written by Rahat Kazmi (who had earlier written Identity Card and Dekh Bhai Dekh: Laughter Behind Darkness) and Shakti Singh.

Confirming the news to a popular daily, Hina said:

"It’s a female-centric story. I also love the fact that it’s set in a time and place, where we are away from the hustle and bustle of city life, technology, daily rush, and competition. I am also thrilled about challenging myself in a brand new medium."

She also shed some light about her track in the popular serial Kasautii Zindagii Kay and said that the production house had known about this commitment before she was signed for the serial. She said,

“I had prior commitments and the production house was informed about it before I was even signed on to play Komolika. Since the show hasn’t even completed six months, the makers didn’t want my track to start and then disappear for a bit. I will start shooting for the show immediately after my film’s shoot."

The actress has also been taking bike lessons for preparing for her character and has been practicing at night.
