Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram is reportedly set to make his television debut in an upcoming drama serial alongside Mahnoor Baloch which will be directed by Fahim Burney.
According to reports, the drama is still in pre-production, and the makers are talking to cast members before they finalise the lineup. Burney also shared the news on his official Instagram account.
Akram has not yet confirmed his role.
Akram previously appeared in Faisal Qureshi’s film Money Back Guarantee, which also starred Fawad Khan. The film opened on April 21, 2023. Sources said he played a small but pivotal role as the rival of Khan’s hero.

He played 104 Tests and 356 ODIs, and took 414 Test wickets and 502 ODI wickets. He also won the 1992 Cricket World Cup with Pakistan.
