Top Pakistani actress Mahira Khan is a popular name across the border. She has an incredible work to her credit and a huge fan following.
Her latest release Verna which the cast was extensively promoting in Pakistan has faced a ban and that upset the actress.
Verna is directed by renowned director Shoaib Mansoor starring Mahira and Haroon Shahid in the lead roles. The film got embroiled in a controversy owing to its content.
Reportedly, the filmmaker has filed an appeal, and the decision to release the film in the country is still pending. Mahira’s Verna is about a rape victim’s fight for justice and the film still awaits its certification from the censor board.
The actress finally opened up on the issue and took to Twitter to vent out her feelings. She wrote: “Tonight I realize how powerful artists are, not those in power. We are. Why else do we get banned? Why else do our films pose a threat to them? In this game of power – we will always win. Art/love/truth always does! #PowerDiGame #verna.”
