Actor Syra Yousuf revealed she was offered to the work in a Hollywood movie but turned down the role.
In an interview, she revealed that the Hollywood film’s script required her to play a bold character to which she refused. She did not mention the film’s name.
The actor, who has worked in a music channel as a video jockey (VJ), is one of the most versatile celebrities in the entertainment industry.

“I was also offered the title role in another Hollywood movie and the story was very exciting,” he said. “However, there was a single, very bold scene in the movie that I knew I couldn’t do.”
“Even if I managed to do so, the people of my country would have connected that scene with me. I wouldn’t want to disillusion them like that,” she added.
