The Luck star took to Instagram to share a screenshot of an email titled “Dear Prime Minister” which was subjected to the former cricketer. The mail stated, "Successful leader takes right decision at right time. He recognises true friends and supporter and selects faithful team members. Now it is ten years long governance and I want to join your team on the very first day." In his witty response, Imran joked, “I guess I can no longer ignore the call to action. Going start drafting some policy outlines this week, I'll keep you guys updated.”
