Shoaib Akhtar recently mentioned that he want Salman Khan to play his role if a biopic was ever made about him.
Prior to this, the cricket star has always been a fan of the Bollywood actor. He met Khan in Dubai, back in 2016 and tweeted a picture stating, “I really enjoyed my time with Salman Khan in Dubai. Great work is being done by his Being Human Foundation.”
When Khan was sentenced prison for 5 years in 2018, Akhtar was extremely sad and expressed his sorrows by saying, “Really sad to see my friend Salman Khan sentenced for five years but the law must take its course and we’ve got to respect the decision of the honorable court of India.”
