Pop star Zayn Malik could soon add movies to his list of achievements as a slew of Bollywood producers are keen to sign him up.

The One Direction star, who is of British Pakistani descent, is a popular choice among filmmakers in the Hindi movie industry for a Bollywood part to boost his career.

Some bosses are reportedly planning to ask him to pen a song for a soundtrack, but one Bollywood star reveals Malik could be offered an onscreen role if he learns some stage-fighting techniques.

Gulshan Grover tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "There is definite interest in getting Zayn to star in a Bollywood film or deliver a song. He has a huge fan base in India and 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."
