Khalil Ur Rehman has announced the potential casting of Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed in a new movie titled “Mirza Jatt,” but are the writer and the star set to collaborate on a project together following their 2020 social media exchange?
Most of us know what went down in 2020 – a social media feud erupted when superstar Mahira Khan rightfully criticized remarks made by renowned Pakistani scriptwriter, director, and poet Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar towards social activist Marvi Samad during a live show.
Now, Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar has hinted at how Mahira Khan is starring in his upcoming film, Mirza Jatt, which has surprised many given their past history and Qamar’s previous statements about not wanting to work with her.
The Writer Himself Has Hinted At Starring Mahira Khan & Humayun Saeed In Upcoming Project
Despite their past differences, it seems that both have possibly chosen to move forward. In a recent YouTube interview, Qamar announced that Mahira and Humayun Saeed will co-star in a movie penned by him, Mirza Jatt. Addressing their previous conflict, Qamar stated, “Yes, there were differences, but now we just have to work.” When asked if he has forgiven Mahira after previously vowing not to do so, Qamar replied, “That was my stance. I will stick to it.”
Mahira Was One Of The Few To Call Out The Writer’s Remarks In 2020
Mahira Khan is one of the few celebrities who spoke out against the writer when his crude remarks created an absolute stir. The actor, who had previously played the lead in Sadqay Tumhare, a drama penned by Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar had expressed her shock over his behavior on Twitter.
I am shocked at what I have just heard and seen!! Sick to the core. This same man who abused a woman on tv is revered and given project after project because of what? We are as much to blame if not more for perpetuating this thinking! #khalilurrehmanqamar

Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar’s Statements Against Mahira Khan
Following Mahira Khan’s tweet the writer on various occasions addressed his grievances and complains. In a show he went on to say:
“She could have called me personally and discussed about whatever she wanted too. If she had done this, then probably I would have responded to her in a good manner” Next, in one of many other instances he screenshotted one of Mahira’s Instagram post about Sadqay Tumharay and further called Khan’s doing a “grave mistake”, suggesting that it cost her big roles. “By doing so, Mahira lost Mere Paas Tum Ho and London Nahi Jaunga as a punishment. Otherwise, she was my first choice for my future ventures. If not Mere Paas Tum Ho, I would have casted her in London Nahi Jaunga,” he stated.
I ll always curse on me for the sin I committed by casting her in a very sacred role in my Sadqay Tumhare pic.twitter.com/vNbNYKWYAb

In August, while making an appearance on Ahmed Ali Butt’s talk show, Qamar publicly claimed he forgave Khan but went on to comment how he is still angry at her for the tweet she made. He said, “I have forgiven her but will never forget the language she used against me on a social media platform.”
What is your take on the two uniting for a collaboration? Are you looking forward to it or do you think this project should be a no-go?
