In 2011, Khan made her film debut in a supporting role in Shoaib Mansoor-directed Bol,[6] in which she had a supporting role.[17] She played Ayesha, a girl from a conservative lower-middle-class family living in the old part of Lahore[18] who shares a mutual passion for music with her love interest Mustafa, played by Atif Aslam.[19] The film was a critical and commercial success and became one of the highest-grossing Pakistani films of all time.[7][3] The same year, Khan also made her TV drama debut in Neeyat, directed by Mehreen Jabbar.[20] The serial was set in New York, and she played the role of Ayla.[17]

In early 2017, Khan co-starred in Rahul Dholakia's Indian film Raees, which was her debut in the Hindi film industry.[7][21][31][43] Before the release of the film, 'Indian Motion Picture Producers Association' (IMPPA) and 'The Film Producers Guild of India' had decided to ban all Pakistani actors, actresses, and technicians from working in India due to the tensions created after the 2016 Uri attack, until the situation was normalised.[44][45] Reportedly, there were rumours that Khan's scenes would be deleted from the film or she would be replaced by another actress.[46][47] Shah Rukh Khan, the lead star and co-producer of the film, said that she would not be allowed to promote the film in India.[48][49] Khan repeatedly received threats from Shiv Sena, an Indian far-right political party.[50][51] Despite the controversies, the film was released in January 2017 and was a modest commercial success, earning over ₹3.0 billion (US$39 million) worldwide[52] which made Khan the first Pakistani actress to join Bollywood's 100 Crore Club[53][54] and become the top grossing actress in Bollywood during the first quarter of 2017.[55][56]

Success and recent work (2018–present)

Khan began her singing career in 2017,[57] when she starred as a rape victim in Shoaib Mansoor's social drama film Verna.[58][59][60] The film received generally unfavourable reviews but her performance was praised and she earned a Lux Style Award for Best Actress in 2018.[61][62][63] In 2018, she starred in Meenu Gaur-Farjad Nabi's romantic comedy 7 Din Mohabbat In which was a commercial failure[64][65] In 2019, she made a special appearance in Asim Raza's Parey Hut Love.[66] The same year, she starred in romantic, musical-drama film Superstar, her highest-grossing film domestically at the time.[67]

The film released in October 2022[71] and was widely praised by critics.[72] however Khan's performance was less well received, Syed Zain Raza of The Friday Times wrote "One can't deny the star power of Mahira, but it would be better to say that this wasn't her film. Mukkho wasn't meant for her"[73] while Siham Basir, of Dawn Images wrote "The only downside for me was Mahira Khan's Mukkho, Her Punjabi accent needed a lot of work because her performance fell flat".[74]
