Mikaal shared that he was approached for the role and even went to India for its audition. “When they approached us, we both were in talks with them and gave the audition,” he said, adding that he was not much interested when he gave the audition.
“It was a small appearance and I always feel when it comes to India they give side roles to us,” he added. Talking on the basis of his personal experience, he further added that Indians are not fair with Pakistani actors.
Mikaal has worked in a few Bollywood films such as Tapasse Pannu and Akshay Kumar starrer Baby which had anti-Pakistan content. He later, revealed that he was not aware of it when he had signed the movie and was tricked by the makers to work in an anti-Pakistan movie.

His character’s name was DJ Ali and he played Anushka’s love-interest in the romantic saga. Thora Sa Haq actor Imran Abbas also appeared in a cameo role in the film.
