Riz Ahmed and Mahira Khan in a movie together would be a collaboration fans didn’t know they needed.
During his recent appearance on the BBC Asian Network with host Haroon Rashid to promote his new Prime Video series, Bait, the Oscar Winning British actor expressed desire to work with the Pakistani actress.
One of the clips the entertainment reporter shared on his Instagram showed him asking Riz, whose real name Rizwan, “Your family makes a good point, Riz. Why haven’t you done anything with Mahira Khan?”
“I know they’re talking about Shah Latif in the show,” he said referring to Riz’ role in the newly released prime video series. “but why haven’t you done anything with Mahira? I think you’d look great together.”
“I’m ready,” Riz replied in a jiffy. “I’m here. Let’s make it happen.”
“In sha Allah [If Allah Wills] In sha Allah. Let’s do it.” he added.
“A romantic drama starring @rizahmed and @mahirahkhan … Who’s watching? [popcorn and hand up emoji],” Haroon captioned the clip.
While The Legend of Maula Jatt star didn’t respond to the video personally, she did react in a different way.
Mashion reshared tHaroon’s video on their social media handles with a captioned that read, “@rizahmed was asked why him and @mahirahkhan haven’t collaborated yet, and honestly, we’re still waiting too”
For the unversed, Mashion is a Pakistani digital media platform and community founded by Mahira and her brother in 2018.
While their fans were totally in for the paring some other netizens suggested that riz would also look good with other Pakistan actress including Sajal Aly and Yumna Zaidi.
