Shilpa Shetty New Leading Man Mike Tyson? Wants to Act in Bollywood Films

Boxing champ Mike Tyson wants to act in Bollywood films, maybe along the Bollywood superstar Shilpa Shetty. 

This is Sparky Collins reporting for Gambling911.com.  Tyson said the energy on the sets of a music video he recently shot for a new comedy got him thinking about trying to do more Bollywood work, The Times of India reported Monday.

But you can forget that kissing scene Mike Tyson!  Shilpa and Richard Gere were recently in deep water with the India government for kissing in public.  We trust that Mike will be gentle with whomever his co-star might be. 

Tyson said the energy on the sets of a music video he recently shot for a new comedy got him thinking about trying to do more Bollywood work, The Times of India reported Monday.

The former heavyweight boxing champion said in an interview that Firoz Nadiadwala, producer of "Fool n Final," had approached him with a script.

"Firoz has discussed a movie with me," the newspaper quoted Tyson as saying.

"We seriously intend to work toward it," he said, without disclosing any details.

Tyson, 40, danced to Bollywood music at a two-day shoot in Las Vegas last month for a music video to promote "Fool n Final," about a diamond heist.

"The atmosphere was very congenial, happy and energetic," the newspaper quoted Tyson as saying.

Tyson plays himself in the music video, set for release later this month.

Tyson had been expected to travel to India this summer to film the dance sequence, but the scene was shot in Las Vegas due to security reasons, director Ahmed Khan has said.
