Cricketers who failed at the Bollywood box office

New Delhi: Bollywood has seen several Indian cricketers, adorned by millions of fans, vying for the silver screen space, but their forays ended in disasters. While a few of them did generate some pre-release curiosity,





Vinod Kambli


Vinod Kambli, after his not so impressive performance on the cricket field, did not  impresse many when they heard that he was planning to star in a Bollywood movie. In fact, many even warned him but Kambli went ahead and starred in a B-grade masala film called Annarth alongside Suneil Shetty and Preeti Jhangiani.


Despite massive following on the cricket field, these popular cricketers unfortunately failed to make their mark in Bollywood.

In the reverse direction, Bollywood stars like Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty are still managing to attract their fans to the cricket arena by running IPL franchises.
