The actress is currently in India shooting for the film, directed by Soni Razdan and written by Mahesh Bhatt. It is her first appearance in a Bollywood film.
Official sources here said the film's "objectionable scenes" showing Meera kissing an Indian actor co-star Ashmit Patel had prompted the Pakistan government and the culture ministry to impose a heavy fine on the popular actress.
Hardliners from accross the border are in forgiving mood either. They have told Meera that a fatwa had been issued against her and she would be killed if she returned home.
On the hand, visibly angry Meera caterwauls: "It's my body and I should have freedom to decide what I want to do with it. As long as I am not doing anything illegal or immoral, no one has the right to dictate terms to me. I want to make history by working in Nazar because never before has cinema in the two countries come together in such a big way.
"I know the people who are making abusive calls to me from Pakistan. My rivals who are not happy with my success have instigated them. These are the kind of people who want to sabotage the peace process between the two countries. I have now made up my mind not to pay any attention to such calls, although I am still being threatened almost everyday."
But the insiders claim that Pakistani lass had urged Razdan to reshoot certain portions of the film but the director humbly refused to oblige.
According to Mahesh Bhatt: "When Meera came to us saying that she wanted a few shots removed, I advised her not to give in to such demands. In Mumbai it has been our experience that threats, no matter who makes them, are best made public. If you are secretive about them, hoping they will go away, things only get worse. So I asked Meera to go public."
The sources said people had reacted strongly to some of these scenes as they were against Islamic ethics and moral values.
The government has directed the culture ministry to take severe action against Meera as Pakistani actors visiting other nations were seen as ambassadors of the country.
