Bollywood and cricket have a long history that isn't limited to sports biopics or celebrities marrying cricketers. While it is common to see actors stepping into the shoes of cricketers or other athletes to portray them on-screen, it is uncommon to see athletes do the same, i.e., acting in movies. However, a few athletes have dared to step outside of their comfort zones to showcase their acting abilities. Right from the time of Salim Durrani to the younger lot like M.S Dhoni, the bond gets stronger.
