Leeds girl turned Bollywood starmaker wants hometown talent

ever fancied a go at being a Bollywood actor?

Well, now you have a chance thanks to a Leeds girl who has become one of the top casting agents for the world’s biggest and most prolific film industry.
Naila Mughal, who grew up in north Leeds and went to Allerton Grange school before moving to India’s Tinseltown, is on the lookout for extras for a new film being shot in the UK.
Filming for Welcome to Karachi will take place in Bradford between September 23 and October 2, as well as in London and Wales.
Naila said: “We are shooting for Welcome to Karachi in Bradford and giving an opportunity for locals to be part of the film as extras.
“We need extras of all ages to be part of the film.
“We have Bollywood stars like Arshad Warsi and Jacky Bhagnani in the film and it is produced by Vashu Bhagnani.
“This a great opportunity for locals to get involved and gain experience on the film set.”
It’s not the first time Naila –who has top Bollywood stars like Shahrukh Khan and Ajay Devgan on speed dial – has returned to her home county to look for talent.
Her love affair with working in Bollywood started at a young age, when she met her acting hero – and 80s superstar – Mithun Chakrobarty.
