Singer Adnan Sami has made it to Bollywood and he's gearing up for his acting debut across the border.

Mumbai Mirror reported that the singer will be part of a romantic musical adventure titled Afghan. He'll be playing the role of an Afghan musician who travels to India after facing discrimination in his hometown.

The film seems to centre on a musician looking to find a home outside of Afghanistan where he can practice his art without religious laws and regulations imposed upon music.

Although the singer says he hasn't visited Afghanistan in years and he's never acted in a film before, facing the camera will not be hard because he can connect with his character as he's a musician with Afghan roots.

The first look is out too.

When asked whether his music career will take a backseat after making his way into Bollywood Sami replied,"No, it won’t, because it’s second nature to me. While I admire jugglers, I can’t multitask. Right now my focus is Afghan; I’m not just acting in it, I also have to compose seven songs for it."

Sammi was last seen on the big screen in Syed Noor's musical alongside his ex-wife Zeba Bakhtiar. He also had a cameo in Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Afghan is being directed by Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao and is slated to release early next year. The film celebrates Indo-Afghan brotherhood and will be shot in India and Afghanistan.

Didn't he act in a Pakistani movie with Zeba Bakhtiar? The zara dholki bajao song was also in the movie. Sangam or Sargam kind of name

Right. So the guy who acted in Sargam and gained a lot of fame from it has never faced a camera before? This guy just shows you how thankless and deluded one can be.

Sir The dearth of talent in Bollywood has become so bad that it had to cast a "has been" actor in a movie??? Thanks

How can he say that he had never acted in a film before when he acted in Syed Noor's film Sargam with his ex-wife while together in Pakistan?

In the past he used very bad words about Pakistan. So please avoid to introduce him.

The comments shows that Pakistanis haven't got over the Adnan episode.

@Hyder I am not sure which side or border you are (although I can guess from your mannerism!), there is no need to be rude. Why is it that every time someone mentions India or Bollywood, someone like you comes up with rude comments. Are we Pakistanis really so rude by nature?. My parents brought me up to respect all nationalities, all religions and all races. Isn't that what Islam teaches us?. I am guessing your parents must have tried that too.
