'I LIKED BOSSING FAWAD KHAN'

'Fawad wants to take my place as president of the bank in a fictional country.'

'That way I got to tell one of the most talented actors in Pakistan what to do all the time.'

'I enjoyed that.'

We know him as the 'Sultan of Swing'.

His perfect yorkers castled the stumps of many a batsman to win the battle between the willow and the cherry for Pakistan on several occasions.

Now, we will see Wasim Akram in a new role in a different field.

His first film as an actor, Money Back Guarantee, opens in theatres on Eid, April 21. India, unfortunately, can watch the film only when it releases on OTT later on.

Along with Wasim, the dark comedy also features his wife Shaniera Akram, who makes her acting debut as Bella, a reporter determined to get to the truth.

In a Zoom chat from Australia, the husband-wife duo take through this exciting journey.

Quiz them on what kind of a film they want to do next and Shaniera quips, "He would be good in an action film."

Wasim, who turns 57 on June 3, admits, "I would have to train very hard, but I would like to do a little action at some stage in my life before I grow too old."

Wasim, you play Fawad Khan's nemesis in Money Back Guarantee, right?

Wasim (Chuckles): Yes, and it was great fun working with the biggest superstar of Pakistan and bossing him around all the way.

Shaniera (Looks surprised): I didn't know you were his nemesis.
