Director Abhishek Jawkar says he was planning to cast Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane for his film ‘Not a Prostitute’ but has dropped the idea.

“I will not work with any Pakistani actor in my upcoming film ‘Not a Prostitute’ or in my future projects also. I was planning to cast Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane as the leading lady of my film Not a Prostitute,” Jawkar told a foreign media agency.

The director shared that he did so to support his country. “But now after the Uri attack and India’s surgical attack reply, I strongly feel I should support my country and the soldiers fighting for our nation,” he said.

Mawra last acted in the film Sanam Teri Kasam and remain famous for the song Tu Khinch Meri Photo. Director-Producer Jawkar made his directorial debut with Missing on a Weekend starring actor Pawan Malhotra.

Based on the escort industry, ‘Not a Prostitute’, to be made under the banner of Red Bulb studios, has also been written by him.

“Casting a lead lady may take a week more and we’re planning to go on floors in November,” he said. ‘Not a Prostitute’ is slated to release in November 2017.
