SRK-Mahira magic

Published January 15, 2017

Ever since the video of the song O Zalima from the upcoming Shah Rukh Khan movie Raees has been released, people have been raving about the chemistry between the king of Bollywood and our very own Mahira Khan, who, by the way, looks absolutely stunning in it.

It is sad that tensions between India and Pakistan don’t allow the exchange of talent on either side of the Wagah border any more. Tell you what: if Mahira K’s work in the film turns out to be half as good as she looks in the video, Bollywood producers would be rueing their kismet. Ah, politics, you are such a dampener.
