Internet Desk: Pakistan’s former captain and flamboyant cricket commentator Ramiz Raja is entering into the world of Bollywood following his long association with the game. It is claimed that the movie has the theme to bridge the two nations with the light of cricket.
According to Geo TV, the former Pakistani cricketer has already zeroed in on his main lead for the movie and it is none other than the Munna Bhai himself, Sanjay Dutt.
The cricketer turned commentator said film would be themed around eradicating the problem of terrorism through cricket. The 54-year-old stated that action and suspense will be the key ingredients of the film. The female lead for the movie is yet to be announced. However, Raja has a couple of names in mind.
“Actresses like Mahira Khan and Katrina Kaif have immense talent, it is my wish to cast them in the movie,” he said.
Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt is yet to star in a film since he served his jail term. He has been in the news recently for a biopic that is being filmed on his controversial life. Ranbir Kapoor will play Dutt’s role in the highly-anticipated film.
Rameez was recently the target of Twitter users after the Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal Australian Open final. Pakistani tennis fans missed out on the epic affair as the match wasn’t telecast live.
Raja slammed the development on Twitter, saying “Unbelievable: We are such a sports unfriendly nation that no channel showed the iconic Federer-Nadal Australian Open final.shameful”.
He found support from many people, who too slammed the decision to not show the match live on television.
