“I have been getting offers since the past couple of years and you will probably see me in a film by the end of this year or beginning of next year,” Atif told PTI.

the singer said he is interested in a dark or a romantic role in a film, which is about love and music.

“I am excited about both (kind of roles),” he said without naming the producers who have offered him the roles.

Atif disclosed that the movie would come out by the end of the year, most probably.
