MUMBAI: For a change, Al Pacino is all set to play a stand-up comedian in Adam Sandler‘s upcoming comedy Jack and Jill.

The star known for his hard-hitting roles will do a cameo in Sandler‘s film. He insists that it‘s perfect casting because his roots are steeped in comedy.

Commented Sandler, "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."
