“If I ever enter Bollywood, I would love to work with Akshay, since he too is a Punjabi and I gel very well with him,” said Yuvraj.

Asked about the leading lady, he said: “I have always liked Kajol as an actress so I would like to work with her as well. I don’t want to take any names from the new breed because I don’t want to spark any controversies.

“However, cricket is my priority at the moment and I love my sport. But since you never know what future holds for you, for Bollywood, I’m neither saying yes, nor I’m saying no.”

Apart from enthralling fans with his smashing boundaries, Yuvraj has also had his tryst with the camera with his modelling assignments. He has been associated with brands like Microsoft, Reebok, Pepsi and Hero Honda among others.

Yuvraj is promoting an animation film Jumbo with voice-overs from actors like Akshay and Lara Dutta. He too has agreed to do the voiceover in Punjabi for the movie.

“I hope the movie does very well. In fact, I’m sure it will rock. All the kids are going to love the movie and the characters in the film,” said Yuvraj.

The cricketer who has a massive fan following, loves playing tennis and describes himself as “sweet, charming and innocent”.
