Her hit films include Punjab Nahi Jaungi, Actor in Law, Chhalawa, London Nahi Jaunga, and more. Mehwish Hayat will soon be seen in the horror-comedy film Zombied alongside Fahad Mustafa, which is releasing on Eid ul Azha.
Recently, Mehwish Hayat appeared on Something Haute’s talk show The Haute Talk, hosted by Amna Isani. During the show, she opened up about her decision to debut in films through an item song. Fahad Mustafa also shared a hilarious incident related to the shooting of Billi.
Talking about performing Billi, Mehwish Hayat said, “It was enjoyable and fun to perform in Billi, and the result was amazing. Although I was tired and bruised while doing it, I was also nervous. But when I went to the location and saw the people and the setup, I was amazed. It was my transition from dramas to films, and it was a bold move. It could have gone wrong as well, but I knew one thing — that I had a film face. Javed Sheikh once told me this when I was doing a drama. Fizza and Nabeel approached me after watching my performances. I did it, and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. Fizza and Nabeel made sure to execute it in a way that made it look like a proper part of the film and it really looked like the gangsters party scene after success.”
Fahad Mustafa also revealed, “We were only reacting to her dance. The real performer was Mehwish Hayat, and she was perfect. Let me tell you an interesting incident — the owner of the Billi shooting location fell from a height while watching Mehwish Hayat perform. Obviously, it had such a spark that he literally fell while watching it.” Watch here:
