Suresh Raina to croon for Bollywood film

MUMBAI: Cricketer Suresh Raina is all set to sing for actor Zeishan Quadri's directorial debut "Meeruthiyan Gangsters".

Zeishan, who co-wrote the script of "Gangs of Wasseypur" besides starring in the film, encouraged Raina to lend his voice for the film.

"Yes I will be in Mumbai to record the song. I love old Hindi songs and immediately came on board for this melodious track of 'Meeruthiyan Gangsters' and we will be improvising on the music as I am doing this for the first time," Raina, who has been a good friend of the "Revolver Rani" actor, said in a statement.

Zeishan always wanted to provide a public domain to the cricketer's voice.

"I was looking forward to an opportunity where I could involve him and am very excited that he will be singing for my film. I'm happy that he has agreed to do this and I am grateful to him as he has removed time for it from his busy schedule."

"Meeruthiyan Gangsters" hits theatres along with Kangana Ranaut-starrer "Katti Batti" on September 18.
