According to media reports, this is not the first time a Hollywood singer has been roped in, previously Akon, Kylie and Snoop Dogg too has made their debut in Bollywood. These stars not only lent their voice but also appeared in the video as well. One very big production company is putting together an offer for him to act as well as sing. Zayn Malik is set to be offered a bumper Bollywood deal which could land him £500,000 for a song.

Gulshan Grover who was one of the first Bollywood stars to enter Hollywood said, “There is definite interest in getting Zayn Malik to star in a Bollywood film or deliver a song. He has a huge fan base in India and he would do really well. I would be happy to guide him. I'm sure he doesn't need help with the dance moves but I would be happy to teach him how to fight on-screen”, media reported.

Zayn Malik wouldn't be the first huge pop star to appear in a Bollywood film after Kylie Minogue was paid £800,000 for her role in 2009 underwater action thriller 'Blue'. Reportedly, Snoop Dogg acted and sang a song which cost $475,000 to record and film in 2008 romantic comedy 'Singh is Kinng', in which he wore a traditional Indian turban and a tunic.
