According to Mukesh, Virat Kohli has all the qualities of a star, but he should stick to cricket.

Virat Kohli is a fierce cricketer who is known for his impressive batting and brilliant team-leading skills. Be it cricket, fitness, or style, Virat is always on top of his game and never lets down his fans. Virat has showcased his interest in acting and dancing in the past. He has done several commercials as well which further shows his array of talents.

Virat Kohli's wife, Anushka Sharma is a renowned actress in the Indian film industry with several hits. Many believe that Virat should venture to acting after retiring from cricket. Let's see what casting director Mukesh Chhabra has to say about it. 

In a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Mukesh said, "He is already a great actor. He is from Delhi, he is a Punjabi. He has seen that life. He has handled success so beautifully. He has maintained himself on every level, competition, looks, fitness, mentally. He is a fan of Chole Bhature, he is a fan of Chole Bhature, he is a great guy.”

According to Mukesh, Virat has all the qualities of a star, but he should stick to cricket. “He’s incredibly funny. He can dance, mimic, and his comic timing is spot on. He’s making the country proud, and he should continue to do that rather than joining films,” he added. 

Chhabra also talked about how he met Kohli 5-6 years ago. He is happy that he has become a role model for the younger generation and he seems like a "great husband and a great father."
