Shoaib Akhtar, popularly known as 'Rawalpindi Express', said he wanted Bollywood superstar Salman Khan to play his role in his 'biopic, if that happens.
He, however, added that it was for his fans and filmmakers to decide whether a film based on his life should be made or not.
From "Bhaag Milkha, Bhaag" to "Mary Kom" to "Sultan" and "Azhar", biopics on sports stars seem to be the flavour of the season in Bollywood. And Akhtar, who will be seen judging an upcoming comedy show "Indian Mazak League", agrees with it.
"I know that is the trend these days, but I am no one to decide that. If people think that my life is interesting and inspiring, then they can make a movie out of it. If not, then let it be. It is for fans and filmmakers to decide," Akhtar said.
And should that happen, Akhtar has his preference. "I'd like to see Salman Khan playing my role in the biopic, if that happens."
