Fresh from shooting his latest video for the forthcoming solo debut Jaan, Maz Bonafide claims to have caught the acting bug.

Maz explained that he has always had it in the back of his mind to one day experiment with film work but never really got the opportunity because of his hectic music career.

Maz said: “Shooting the Jaan video in Pakistan was an amazing experience and a real eye-opener for me. Making a pop video is one thing but this project was literally like making a movie.

“The huge hand-built sets, dozens of extras and runners and a full crew is another world.”

Maz has apparently already had talks with a couple of movie producers in India and is planning a trip to Mumbai soon.

He adds: “The Jaan video is like my acting debut as well as my debut solo track but it’s also a stepping stone to my destiny.

“Jaan is a beautiful, romantic, Bollywood inspired track which looks set to be one of the biggest love songs of 2014.”

Jaan releases on July 31 on iTunes and all major online music stores worldwide.
