We thought, because he said so, that Ali Zafar was distancing himself from Bollywood to devote some time to his family and projects made in Pakistan, his homeland. It turns out that’s not the case because apparently he had made some ‘exceptions’. According to reports, Ali Z has been offered a role in an Indian road trip film produced by Ahmed Khan, and he is thinking of doing it. Apart from acting in the movie, rumour has it that he might also have to compose music for the film which means extra remunerations.

Hmm … that word ‘exception’.
