Mahesh Bhatt is all set to produce and present a play 'Milne Do,' which would allow theatre artists to find a common ground between Pakistan and India.

According to Times of India, the proposed lead, Indian actor Imran Zahid, would be travelling to Pakistan on December 14 and might act opposite the stunning Pakistani actress, Mehwish Hayat, the Dawn reported.

The venture, which would be directed by Danish Iqbal and has been expected to be performed in March 2015, was supposed to begin in November 2013 but got delayed owing to political reasons.

The Indian Film director, who was pleased about the way things are turning out, believes that India and Pakistan could bridge the distances through this cultural space.

 

Bhatt also praised the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi for taking keen interest in their venture and issuing visas for the participants in just a day's time.

There would also be two musical performances before and after the play with representation from both countries. While Laal has been confirmed, talks are still in progress to get Indian band Euphoria on board.
