Mahira Khan’s second coming with acclaimed TV/film director Shoaib Mansoor, titled Verna, doesn’t look like it is going to be released anytime soon. Mansoor, who introduced Khan in his 2011 award-winning movie, Bol, can’t seem to decide on a date. The reason for this is primarily Verna’s subject matter — the film is about a rape victim. Mansoor is distressed because there’s been a number of films on similar themes from Bollywood that have come out over the past year or so, such as Pink, Matra and Mom. A smart filmmaker, Mansoor isn’t willing to compromise on the novelty value of his film which also stars pop band Symt’s lead vocalist, Haroon Shahid, as Khan’s husband.
