According to The Jang newspaper, Malik said he was thinking about accepting the offer since his role in the film was of a cricketer and not of a hero.

"It is a meaty role and the offer they have made is very handsome so I am giving it a serious thought. But obviously lot of things remain to be sorted before I sign the contract," Malik said.

Malik, however, dispelled the impression that because of his friendship with Sayali he was concentrating more on a career in Bollywood than his cricket.

"Cricket is my bread and butter and passion. I am totally focused on cricket and want to taste more success," he said.

The film to be directed by Wilson Louis is a love story between a cricketer and a model and will have both Malik and Sayali playing themselves.

Media reports suggest that Malik and Sayali have been romantically linked for quite sometime.

However, Malik made it clear that while he had been seeing Sayali for the last six months they were just good friends and not involved with each other romantically.
