In an exclusive conversation with Instep, Mahira revealed details about her character and the story of her forthcoming film Superstar, directed by Ehtishamuddin.

“It’s a romance in its essence, but it’s a story about faith, failure, success and two people who meet each other at a strange time, basically wanting the same thing out of life, but how they want it is very different.”
