Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has claimed that he was offered the lead role in Bollywood movie 'Gangster', which released in 2006. 'Gangster' was produced by Mahesh Bhatt and directed by Anurag Basu. Last month, Akhtar had announced his disassociation from his biopic 'Rawalpindi Express: Racing Against the Odds', alleging "disagreements and contractual infractions".
