Maryam Zakaria bags lead role in Grand Masti after doing two item songs

Maryam Zakaria, of Iranian-Swedish origin, who has earlier done two item numbers, one Pritam Pyaare in Rowdy Rathore and the second Dil Mera Muft Ka in Agent Vinod has bagged the first lead role of her career in Indra Kumar's upcoming film Grand Masti in which she has been paired opposite Aftab Shivdasani. Having stayed in India for quite some time, the waiting period to strike big in Bollywood wasn't really difficult for her as there was something or the other happening practically every year in her three year stint so far. Avers Maryam, “I was here for some time and waiting for the right project. Last year, when I was shooting for Agent Vinod, I knew from within that I would be noticed by people. Today, I am so happy as the position I am in today is something that I had dreamt of for so many years. I can say that it was my destiny after all.”
