New Delhi, Apr 23 (PTI) Nasser Khan is not your average Bollywood debutante. He is blind.

The businessman from Kanpur who also produces his debut film "Shadow" plays a sniper in the film.

"I have done all my stunts, shot for a dance sequence with 180 dancers and yes, acted in the film. We have had many actors portraying blind men, but this is the first time ever, be it in Bollywood or Hollywood, that a blind man is acting as a person who has normal vision," Khan told PTI.

"Shadow" is a thriller which revolves around a policeman's attempt to track down a mysterious sniper, who is on a killing spree. Model-turned-actor Milind Soman will be seen as a policeman in the film.

Apart from Soman, the successful real estate entrepreneur is also working with Sonali Kulkarni and Hrishitta Bhatt in the film.

Khan, who is planning his own production house after the movie wraps up, says his decision to take up acting was an attempt to remove the prejudice existing in the film industry against people with physical disabilities.
