After treating fans with his explosive batting style, cricketer Shikhar Dhawan is all set to mesmerize them with his first acting role in the film 'Double XL'. He will be seen sharing screen with Huma Qureshi and Sonakshi Sinha in this project centered around body positivity movement. In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, Shikhar shared his experience of working on the film and stated that acting came very naturally to him.

He said, “When I went to the set, they taught me to dance; I picked it up easily. I was asked to dance for a specific scene, so I did it honestly, played my part and enjoyed it. I was confident that I could pull it off."

Talking about the overall experience, he said, "As an athlete playing for the nation, life is always very hectic. One of my favourite pastimes is to watch good, entertaining films. This is a different new life all together; it was a shoot for 8-9 hours and I really enjoyed shooting with the crew and the team. Everyone at the set was very supportive and the director of the movie and co-actor Huma Qureshi were warm and kind throughout the shoot."

When asked whether he'll take more acting gigs in future, Shikhar replied, “Yes! If I get an opportunity and if I have time. Everything depends on my schedule. Of course cricket is my priority and World Cup ODI and IPL is coming. I am looking forward to more opportunities surely that come my way whether it is TV or movies. I think acting comes very normal to me, as you can also see the reels which I am making for the fans of my page. Till the time my cricket is not getting disturbed by it, I am open for more opportunities."
