Pakistani actress Mahira Khan says she is a bundle of nerves ahead of the release of her Bollywood debut "Raees" opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
Mahira, who has earlier impressed the Indian audience with her TV show "Humsafar", will be seen romancing Shah Rukh in director Rahul Dholakia's action thriller.
Talking about the film, Mahira told reporters here, "It's a dream come true. I am excited but very nervous too. I feel pressure to prove myself, that's why there is anxiety."
The 33-year-old "Bol" star shared she forgot her dialogues while shooting her first scene with Shah Rukh.
"My first scene in the film was with him (Shah Rukh). I was wondering what would happen. I was prepared with my dialouges and when he came I forgot my dialouges, so that is one moment I will always remember," she said.
The movie will arrive in theatres on January 26, 2017 and Mahira said she cannot wait for it.
"We have been shooting since last year. I am anxious, impatient and nervous. I am fluctuating with all the emotions.
