Pakistani actor Sara Loren has been roped in for a third Bollywood film, Barkhaa. Loren made her film debut in Pooja Bhatt’s romantic thriller film Kajraare (2010) co-starring Indian singer and music composer Himesh Reshammiya. The movie was a box office flop, but her performance makes it look good. Her second movie was Murder 3 (2011), co-starring Randeep Hooda and Aditi Rao Hyderi.
Loren, formerly known as Mona Lizza, has signed up for playing the female lead against Taaha Shah in Barkhaa. The film’s raunchy script has been written by Lawrence J John, and is being directed by Shadaab Mirza. Termed as an emotional love story by Loren herself, the film is currently being shot in Mumbai, and Himachal Pardesh and Loren are said to be busy with the shooting. Other cast members include Priyanshu Chatterjee, Shweta Pandit and Puneet Issar. The music score of the film has been given by Amjad Nadeem, and the play-back singers include Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal.
