Shoaib Akhtar in Bollywood
The Rawalpindi express Shoaib Akhtar will very soon seen become a Bollywood actors. He was offered the role of the villain in Mahesh Bhatt’s Gangster earlier, but had refused the role. When asked about it the cricketer came up with a quote that “ Everyone in life is an actor”. Now coming to the money part of the issue, Shoaib is uncompromising, he has demanded a whooping amount of 1 crore which seems to be one third of the movie’s budget. He wasn’t satisfied with just 1 crore but had demanded for a whooping amount of 8 crores, now this is a big amount.Akhtar has to play himself in the movie — the Pakistani bowling star who is the object of the dreams of a young Indian Punjabi girl who manages to establish contact with him through the internet. There are twists and turns along the way, lots of laughs, but at the end of it all, the girl meets her hero. It’s supposed to be a comedy — with some soulful Sufi music thrown in, ending with a remix. The mix is interesting, to say the least, and Shoaib Akhtar is interested.
