Not one, not two, Mawra Hocane has signed three Bollywood films!
KARACHI: A photo of Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane became a subject of much fanfare and speculation after it was posted and then quickly removed from the Facebook page of Dubai-based photographer Paul Aiken on Thursday.
Here it is:
As you can tell, there is good reason for it to go viral. Not only does the VJ-turned-TV star look stunning but the photo is also indicative of Mawra’s look in her upcoming Bollywood film. And when contacted, she confirmed that the picture was indeed part of a photoshoot for her debut movie.
“This is not the official poster. It’s one of the shots from the shoot,” she told The Express Tribune from Mumbai where she is currently busy working on the film. As to the removal of the photo from Paul Aiken’s Facebook page reportedly due to negative comments on the post, Mawra clarifies: “It has been removed because the press release has been delayed by a week. There’s no other problem.”
She also revealed that her debut Bollywood film will feature Telegu actor Harshvardhan Rane opposite her. This will also be Harshvardhan’s first Hindi film. He was earlier supposed to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone starrer (and now superhit) film Ram Leela but that didn’t work out
But this is not it. Her debut film hasn’t even released, yet Mawra has already signed two additional film. Her other two films are also Bollywood projects. “I will share the details of my other two films after the press event of the first one,” she said. “I am learning new things everyday and I am more than thankful for getting to live my dream at this age.”

This is definitely great news for fans! Cult film on rock music Rock On, which was one of a kind in Bollywood and surpassed all expectations from crtics as well as fans, will now have a sequel. Rock On 2 will star none other than singing actress Shraddha Kapoor!
Shraddha Kapoor who is currently promoting ABCD 2 with Varun Dhawan has already proved that she can sing. She had fans swooning to her unplugged rendition of Galliyaan. It is possible that the actress's musical talents could have been key in her bagging a part in the remake of this epic film.

As per reports in bollywoodlife.com, the film will also star original cast member Arjun Rampal who played brooding guitarist Joe in the earlier film. The film was delayed because of a copyright battle with Abhishek Kapoor over development of the script and will be shot in the Northeast Indian hill station Shillong which is also considered to be the rock music capital of the region. Farhan too will be lending his voice to all songs along with his co-star Shraddha.
