Nimra Bucha lands lead role in Fawzia Mirza’s Canadian film
After making headlines for her role in the Disney+ show ‘Ms Marvel’, Pakistani actress Nimra Bucha is all set to make yet another international appearance as one of the lead characters in Fawzia Mirza’s Canadian film ‘Me, My Mom and Sharmila’.
Filmmaker Fawzia Mirza, a Pakistani-Canadian, has hand-selected “great South Asian trailblazers” to star in her upcoming feature. The all-star cast of Me, My Mom & Sharmila includes Hamza Haq from Transplant, Amrit Kaur from The Sex Lives of College Girls, and Nimra Bucha from Ms Marvel.
The filmmaker shared an Instagram post and wrote about her upcoming film, “My feature directorial debut, starring Amrit Kaur, Hamza Haq and Nimra Bucha, [is] inspired from my one-person play of the same name Me, My Mom & Sharmila. I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am for this cast and how proud I am of my incredible producing team without whom I would not be here”.
“It takes a village and there are so many people without whom we couldn’t have gotten here. Stay tuned y’all”, the filmmaker concluded.
Nimra Bucha also shared an Instagram story and confirmed her appearance on the show, she wrote, “So happy!”
Me, My Mom & Sharmila is produced by Jason Levangie and Marc Tetreault for Shut Up & Colour Pictures and Andria Wilson Mirza for Baby Daal Productions (co-founded by Fawzia with her wife). In late 2022, the production will start in Pakistan, Canada, and Nova Scotia.
