Aftab’s set for a sixer!

According to Vikas Hotwani from DNA, along with performing at IIFA, Aftab Shivdasani will also play a cricket match against the Yorkshire team.

"The film fraternity team comprises of almost half the film industry. Apart from me, the team has actors like Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan and many more. The Yorkshire team will mostly comprise of ex-cricketers and politicians, all from Britain," Aftab said.

On the career front, the actor is keeping his fingers crossed for his upcoming movies, Speed and Dus Kahaniyaan. "I have just finished shooting for Speed that is more of an action/thriller unlike my previous movies. For Dus Kahaniyaan , it would be a little premature to say anything as we are yet contemplating our choices between two stories. All I can say is that the movie has a filmi romantic theme to it," states Aftab.

His earlier movies, however, have failed to make any mark at the box-office. While Red failed to impress critics in spite of its European noir style, Life Mein Kabhi Kabhie performed even more miserably. When asked on what went wrong, he explains briefly, "I don't really know the reason behind these movies not doing well. I feel they simply failed to connect with the audience."
