MUMBAI: Following Kirron Kher and Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi is doing a Pakistani film. While Kher was seen in Khamosh Paani, Shah played an important character in Khuda Key Liye.

Azmi plays a significant role in producer Wajahat Abbas Kazmi‘s film The Dusk. Confirming the news, Kazmi in a statement said, "Yes, Shabana Azmi will be here soon to act her part in the film and we hope that her presence in the movie will add extra value to it. It‘s a small role but of a very important character in the film."

The film is the story of a newly married couple and how their lives change barely five days after their wedding when the husband is kidnapped. The film also touches upon the topic of Osama Bin Laden‘s death.

Azmi will travel to Pakistan to shoot her part of The Dusk that is in its last stages of production.

Incidentally Azmi is not the only Bollywood actor to foray into Pakistani films lately. Shweta Tewari and Johnny Lever are said to feature in some of the big upcoming Pakistani films.
