Says Mikaal, "When I come to Mumbai I'll be searching for a place to stay. Yes, Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar and I are planning to get one big place to stay in. All three of us are from Lahore and have known each other for years. So it makes sense to stay together. I love Mumbai. That's where the action is."
Mikaal admits the situation for Pakistanis in Mumbai is grim at the moment. " I've heard Pakistan entertainers are being asked to leave Mumbai after what happened. That's really unfair. Bollywood is a global entertainment headquarter.
We shouldn't be stopped from coming to Mumbai. India is a global market and terrorist attacks shouldn't deter that target. I've spoken to some Pakistani entertainers in Mumbai. And they aren't sure what would happen now."
Mikaal is getting ready to shift to Mumbai in February. He has signed a film Jagmohan Mundhra's Room Mates.
Says Mikaal, "Room Mates is a romantic thriller set and shot in Mumbai. I'll come to Mumbai alone. So I hope I'm made to feel welcome."
