WILL WASIM AKRAM ACT IN A BOLLYWOOD FILM?

'Acting in a film is far more difficult than doing a commercial.'

Wasim Akram makes his acting debut opposite wife Shaniera in the Pakistani film, Money Back Guarantee, which opened in theatres on April 21.

And one of the things he liked best about the job was, as he says, "I liked bossing Fawad Khan."

In the concluding part of an exclusive interview, Akram tells, "The World Cup is in India, so obviously India is one of the favourites going by the way they are playing."

Shaniera, you have worn many hats in real life, from owning a clothing boutique to organising product launches, fashion fests, store and restaurant openings as a public relations and events consultant. Now, you are involved with social work in Pakistan. What was it like playing a journalist on screen? 

Shaniera: It was fun; I enjoyed every minute. I just hope I haven't let the team down.

Wasim, you have met many journalists in the course of your cricketing career. Does your wife pass muster?

Wasim: We did not have too many shots together but I was watching her when she was doing her part and I think she's done a great job.

(Smiles) And I'm not saying this because she's my wife. Shaniera is a natural actress.

Shaniera: There was this one time when they didn't brief me on a stunt because they wanted my natural reaction, and woah, did they get it!

Wasim (Laughing out loud): I remember that, it was very funny.
