Former Pakistan cricket captain Wasim Akram is reportedly in talks to make his television drama debut alongside veteran actress Mahnoor Baloch in an upcoming project directed by Fahim Burney.
The project is still in its early stages, with discussions underway to finalize the cast. Burney has reportedly shared details about the drama on Instagram, but neither Akram nor Baloch’s participation has been officially confirmed.
Reports also suggest that actress Mahira Khan may be approached for a special appearance, although her involvement remains uncertain.
News of Akram’s possible drama debut has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Actress Javeria Abbasi welcomed the development, while some users questioned the decision to cast the former cricketer in a television drama.
Wasim Akram, widely regarded as one of Pakistan’s greatest fast bowlers, played 104 Tests and 356 One Day Internationals during his international career. He took 916 wickets across both formats and was a key member of Pakistan’s 1992 World Cup-winning team.
Since retiring from international cricket in 2003, he has remained involved in the sport as a commentator and analyst while also making appearances in commercials and entertainment projects.
He previously appeared in the Pakistani film Money Back Guarantee in 2023. However, the upcoming project would mark his first appearance in a television drama if the casting is finalized.
