Saqib Saleem told BizAsia not long ago that he is waiting for a role that changes everything. Now it�۪s emerged that he is essaying the role of a cricketer in Rohit Dhawan directed ��Dishoom�۪ and it is being said that the role is based on Virat Kohli.

Talking about the role, Saleem told Mumbai Mirror, ���He could be Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina or Rohit Sharma��_ The major cricketing portions will be shot during the Abu Dhabi schedule with the UAE cricket team, with whom I will train as well. I’ll be playing a lot of cricket, hitting a few sixes too. My biggest fear is that the audience will say that I acted well, but played bad cricket�۝.

Dhawan has apparently been paying special attention to how Saleem looks in the film. ���He narrated the entire script to me, focussing on the dramatic scenes. He is the kind of director who loves to pamper his actors. And I’m sure there’s lots of ‘me’ in the film,�۝ added Saleem.

The film stars John Abraham, Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez with Akshay Kumar and Nargis Fakhri to be seen in cameos if latest reports are to be believed.
