Pakistan’s very own highly controversial Meera will now be seen playing the lead role in a film titled ‘Hotal’.
The movie which is set for a nationwide release in March is a psycho-thriller and has different actors from Pakistan.
Written and directed by Pakistani director Khalid Hasan Khan who is a graduate of the New York Film Academy, the film is centered on Kashika, a woman who ends up in a hotel where as the film’s teaser says “she meets her sister who was never born”.
The film which bagged the award for Best Film at the 3rd Delhi International Film Festival also honoured Meera, with the ‘Best Actress Award’.
Speaking to the media about Hotal, Meera commented: “The film gives out a social message. It depicts what a woman faces and touches sensitive issues like abortion, gender discrimination and superstitions. It is a new project for our film industry in Pakistan but I am sure that audiences all the world over will love it.”
Meera further remarked that she was “open to all kinds of opportunities and roles, whether it is a commercial movie or one with a strong social message. The role I have played in Hotal is different. It is not glamorous at all.”
