    "I am delighted to be part of this biopic. It talks about the life of Shakeela that people need to hear and my character is someone who is her friend and also an actor. It is amazing to know all the stories, anecdotes and incidents that have happened in her life. I am glad I could be a part of this film," Pankaj said in a statement.
     
     
    The actor has been very busy throughout the year so far, and has been appreciated for his role in "Sacred Games".
