Punjab Kings opener Shikhar Dhawan, who is among the top 5 run-getters in the IPL 2022, is set to make his foray into the world of Bollywood. From making TikTok and Instagram videos with teammates to reenacting the ‘Pushpa’ dialogue on social media Shikar has entertained his fans both on and off the ground.

Now the reports claim that the Gabbar of the Indian cricket team is all set to make his Bollywood debut soon. It is said that he has finished the shoot and things are deliberately being kept under the wraps. The report goes on to provide details that Dhawan would play a pivotal role in the film and not a cameo.

Sources close to Shikar said, "Shikhar always had huge respect for actors, and when he was offered this part he was happy to come aboard. The makers felt that Shikhar suits the character and reached out to him a few months back. It’s a proper full-length role and is not a cameo. His part is pivotal to the film, which is expected to release sometime this year”

In IPL 2022, Dhawan is the fourth-highest run-scorer so far with 421 runs in 13 games at a strike rate of 122. Right now Punjab is placed at the seventh spot in the points table with a slim chance to the playoff. The team has won six out of thirteen matches.
