MUMBAI: Singh may have grabbed the Bollywood limelight quite a few times, courtesy his proximity with close friend Amitabh Bachchan.

This time, however, the tinsel town attention would be wholly self-earned as Singh decides to foray into some Bollywood acting with ace actor Dev Anand's next directorial venture Chargesheet. He will play the role of the country's Home Minister.

"When the film's offer came to me and I was asked to play the Home Minister's role, I could not refuse it. Moreover, the offer came from Dev Anand, whom I respect a lot," said Singh.

Meanwhile, since Singh's schedule will remain tight due to the upcoming elections, the film will be shot at his New Delhi residence.

"As soon as I am in Delhi, the date and time of shoot will be fixed," added Singh.
