Acclaimed director and playwright Khalil-ur-Rehman spoke to EPK recently where he admitted to finding actress Urwa Hocane very difficult to work with. He said that Uwra was not the first choice for his film, but “she was begging for the film, she was absolutely begging for the film.”
The director admitted that his fondness for Urwa’s husband, Farhan Saeed made it harder for him to deny her a role
Urwa just responded to the remarks made by the director
The actress, while speaking to Something Haute, said that “Khalil saab always calls me beta” before saying that he’s like “a father figure” to her. She said she had nothing but the utmost respect for the director and that there was no “compatibility” for her and the character she was offered.
She said the “character he had perceived as a director was not suitable to me”
The actress said that he was upset that she refused the role after sitting down with him and coming to a realization that she didn’t suit the role. She also said that she “had never worked with him as a director” but as a “writer” (he had written the script for her film ‘Punjab Nahi Jaungi). The actress is aware he’s angry, but she insists that she “won’t take it personally.”
