Actor-filmmaker Akbar Khan will return to the big screen essaying the role of late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in an upcoming docu-drama From President to Prisoner. He says he is looking forward to the project, based on Aziz Burney's book Safar Zindagi Ka. Khan, who was last seen as Chandan Roy Sanyal's disciplinarian dad in F.A.L.T.U., is quite upbeat about the challenge of playing Saddam Hussein.
"It's a very challenging role. The world opinion on Saddam Hussein is divided into two parts. For half the world, he was a hero and for the other half, he was a villain. I am looking forward to playing this role," said the youngest brother of Sanjay Khan and the late Feroze Khan.
