Mohammad Amir, one of Pakistan’s most promising young fast bowlers, was banned from all forms of cricket as a result of spot fixing charges. Seems Amir now has a chance to win back the adoration of his fans, but in a different field.
The 22 year old is all set to pursue an acting career in an upcoming film called Blind Love. “In the last couple of years, I had nothing to do. So when the well known film maker Faisal Bukhari approached me to be a part of the film, I accepted,” said Amir.
Syed Faisal Bukhari is a film producer and director. His two recent films Bhai Log (2011) and Sultanat (2014), impressed at the box office.
Amir, who is still practicing for his first love, cricket, took the decision after getting the nodt from his family members. Because the project is still in the making, Amir did not seem willing to disclose any details, but is visibly excited about the film.
“This is a new challenge for me and I am eager to see how everything I discussed with the filmmaker translates onto the big screen,” says Amir. “The shooting will start soon and I am totally geared up for this one”.
Amir, while seeing the dark side of fame a little too early in his career makes one wonder if the film in which he is acting has anything to do with his personal story. “The film has nothing to do with my personal life,” clarifies Amir.
