LAHORE: Controversial cricketer Muhammad Asif will be acting in a movie named India mein Lahore, Express News reported on Sunday.
When asked if the audience will see him dancing in the film, Asif replied, “I can dance if need be. It’s not very difficult.”
The romantic comedy will be a Pakistan-India co-production aimed at promoting friendship between the two countries.
Asif said he is ready to face the Indian media and will be willing to undertake other such projects if he gets good offers.
He dispelled rumours that he undertook the project because he was facing financial troubles.
According to initial details, Asif will be playing an important role in the movie, and was selected by the producers without any audition.

An Indian team is currently present in Pakistan looking for actors for the reportedly big budget film.
Screenwriter Iqram Akhtar will be debuting as director for this movie.
Fast bowler Asif had admitted to spot fixing in a 2010 test match against England. Asif along with Salman Butt and young pacer Mohammad Amir were banned in early 2011 by the ICC’s anti-corruption tribunal over the charges.
