While there is nothing novel about cricketers turning into actors, there is still a lot of freshness and excitement around veteran India batter Shikhar Dhawan’s acting debut scheduled to happen next month.
It was during Indian Premier League 2022 almost five months ago that the news of Dhawan entering into movies had first started to do the rounds.
Fast forward to yesterday, the development got confirmed after actor Huma Qureshi uploaded an Instagram post announcing Dhawan’s presence in her upcoming movie titled ‘Double XL’. Dhawan, who can be seen dancing with Qureshi in a black suit in the photo, is in his usual chic self in the first look of his acting career.
Although the previous update had predicted a “proper full length role” for Dhawan, it remains to be seen if he will be playing a cameo or an extended role in Double XL.
Other than Qureshi, Double XL also stars Sonakshi Sinha, Zaheer Iqbal and Mahat Raghvendra in pivotal roles.
