London:
Oscar winning actor Al Pacino is all set to portray himself as a stand-up comedian in a comedy flick.
The Scarface legend, who will shock fans of his dramatic work with a cameo in filmmmaker Adam Sandler's upcoming comedy Jack and Jill, insists it's perfect casting because Pacino's roots are steeped in comedy, Daily Express reported.
"He really is one of the funniest guys. And I bet you didn't know this, and I didn't know it either, but he was a stand-up. That's how he started.
"Pacino was in a comedy team, in the beginning. I swear to god... For a while (too). It wasn't just like a brief thing. He did it for like a couple of years, I think. He told me some of his routines and they were great! (sic)," said Sandler.
