Indian cricket team pacer Mohammed Shami’s estranged wife Hasin Jahan is all set to appear in a film named Fatwa after the sultry photo shoot. In the film with which Hasin Jahan is all set to make her debut in the Hindi film industry, Jahan will be seen playing the character of a print journalist.
Speaking to DNA, Jahan said, “All the legworks are being done and shooting would begin in October if everything goes according to plan.”

Talking about her decision to return to modelling, Jahan said that she had to get back to modelling to sustain her life. “I had to do something to earn a living for myself and my child. I did not have any other option. I was approached by director Amjad Khan for a film to which I agreed. I also need money for the legal fight,” Jahan told DNA.
Amjad Khan, the director of the film, told DNA that choosing Hasin for the role had nothing to do with the Jahan-Shami controversy. “My film is based on a riot which sparks off in Bengal and spreads in different parts of the country. The two main characters are painters – one of them a Hindu and the other a Muslim and Jahan plays a reporter who is an important character to bring the two together. I had known her for a long time and since this reporter is a very strong woman with a fighting spirit, Jahan was my first choice as she fits in like a glove,” Amjad said.
Hasin Jahan, who had levelled some serious allegations against Shami, seems to have taken a major career decision after the much-talked-about controversy.
Hasin has returned to modelling, a profession she pursued before her marriage to Shami, as she shared a video of her photoshoot on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
“Hasin jahan I m,” Shami’s wife captioned the video on Twitter.
