Australian bowler Shaun Tait to star in a Bollywood film?

Australian cricketer Shaun Tait is likely to make a special appearance in the upcoming Bollywood film Kai Po Che directed by Abhishek Kapoor.

Based on Chetan Bhagat's book The 3 Mistakes of My Life, the film is about three friends, Govind, Ishaan and Omi, who want to pursue their dreams. Against the backdrop of religious politics, the story underlines the three mistakes made by Govind.

Cricket being an integral part of Kai Po Che, the production house UTV Motion Pictures have zeroed in on Australian fast-bowler Shaun Tait.

"Abhishek Kapoor wanted a well known foreign fast bowler, for an important part in Kai Po Che. Shaun will be playing himself in a special appearance in the film," said an official source. "The discussion is at an advanced stage, and we are looking forward to working with the fastest bowler in the world," he added.

The film will see popular TV actor Sushant Singh Rajput play a cricket enthusiast with Love Sex and Dhokha actor Raj Kumar Yadav, TV star Amit Sadh and Aisha actress Amrita Puri.
