Rumour: Fawad Khan had an offer to work with Big B!

We've seen Fawad Khan play a nawab, a writer with a secret and a DJ in his Bollywood projects. Was the character of a gangster next for the Khoobsurat star?

The third installment of the Sarkar series is coming up, and rumour has it that this film could have featured Fawad Khan.

Sarkar is a Godfather-inspired crime thriller series starring Amitabh Bachchan in the titular role. Abhishek Bachchan and Kay Kay Menon play his sons in the series, and it's said that Fawad was being roped in to play Big B's grandson. Not sure whose kid he was supposed to be, though!

However, according to a report on Mid-Day, the ongoing tensions between Pakistan and India resulted in the talks coming to a standstill. An informal ban on Pakistani artists is currently in place in India in response to attacks in Uri, Kashmir in late September.

Although rumours say that Fawad had verbally committed to the role, director Ram Gopal Verma ended up casting Sultan actor Amit Sadh in his place.
