Now this is pleasantly surprising. You would expect a young Pakistani actor to attract attention of Bollywood producers and directors but not a senior performer. Peshawar-based Rasheed Naz, a fantastic actor, has been cast in a Bollywood film titled Baby directed by Niraj Pandey. He will play the character of an extremist in the movie, alongside seasoned Indian film stars Anupam Kher and Akshay Kumar.

All the best Rasheed N!
