Elaborating his stance, the actor declared that when one thinks about a heroine, an innocent youthful actress comes to mind however Jamal thinks that Mahira Khan is no longer in the age-group to portray young ‘heroine’ roles.

Furthermore, Firdous explained that by characterization he doesn’t want to imply that Mahira should do ‘ama’ and ‘dadi’ roles, he thinks the actress can take on a wife’s or a sister’s character quite efficiently.
