Shoaib Akhtar asks for ‘no song-dance clause’

The makers of the newly-launched comedy show Mazaak Mazaak Mein had a rather peculiar request from Shoaib Akhtar, who appears on the show as a judge. The Pakistani cricketer we hear, has insisted on adding a ‘no dancing and crooning’ clause to his contract. Apparently Shoaib aka Rawalpindi Express is much wary of antics on stage.

Informs a source from the sets, “He may have been fierce on the field as a cricketer, but shaking a leg on stage gives him jitters. Since it’s a reality show, he thought that the makers might ask him to sing or dance on stage to up the entertainment quotient. So he included the clause to ensure that it doesn’t happen at all.”

The makers of the show are stumped by the request, but are conceding to his demands anyway.
