Tainted Indian pacer S. Sreesanth who was booked for match fixing in 2013, seems ready for the release of his first Hindi film. In between the chaos, the dramatic bowler’s life is slowly coming back to track after the Kerala High court lifted the life ban imposed on him by the BCCI. Sreesanth is no stranger to the glitzy life, he was a part of an Indian reality dance show in the past, ‘Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa’.
According to Mid Day, Sreesanth said, “Thankful to God for all the good things in life. I am so glad to be part of Aksar2 and I’m very confident it will be appreciated by the audience. A big thank you to all those who supported me during the worst phase of my cricketing career as well as now since the ban against me playing the game again has been lifted, I believe there are many opportunities in store. Need all the love, support and encouragement always.”
‘Aksar 2’ is produced by Varun Bajaj, Chirag Bajaj and Narendra Bajaj and is a Siddhivinayak Presentation. The film is being helmed by Ananth Narayan Mahadevan which features Gautam Rode, Zareen Khan, Abhinav Shukla, Mohit Madaan and Sreesanth. Mithoon has composed the music of the film and it is all set to hit the theatres soon.

Sreesanth is also hoping to make a comeback to the Indian cricket team. He was a frontline pacer for India when the fixing scandal hit his career and derailed it. It is unfortunate to see someone with such immense potential fade out of the sporting scene so soon. He was at the peak of his career when the turmoil engulfed him.
C mon @bcci this is worst u can do to anyone that too who is proven innocent not just once but again and again..don’t know why u doing this?

He was the one who took the catch of Misbah-ul-Haq to seal the win for India in the last over.
