Australian pacer Shaun Tait is set to debut in Bollywood movie with UTV Motion Pictures' next according to reports.
UTV Motion Pictures has reportedly approached Tait for their next venture titled Kai Po Che!
"Cricket is an integral part of the film, which is why the production house is looking for a prominent international cricketer to cast," a source has revealed.
Actor Sushant Singh Rajput is being groomed by Ashish Nehra, star bowler of the Indian team for a role of a wannabe cricketer in the movie.
"Ashish suggested Shaun's name when the makers were brainstorming on who to cast for the part. But unlike Ashish, Shaun will actually play a prominent role in the film. UTV is in final talks with Shaun, who has shown interest in the film," the source was quoted saying by totalfilmy.com.
Manish Hariprasad, creative director, studios, Disney-UTV confirmed the report.
"Abhishek Kapoor (director) wanted a well-known international fast bowler for the climax. And Abhishek's good friend Ashish put us in touch with Shaun. We're in discussions with him, and hope to have him on board soon."
Tait will go ahead with the endeavor and shoot for the film only if it does not clash with his schedule.
"Cricket will always come first for him. He liked the script and wants to do the film, but he will only give them a go-ahead if his timings work out,” the source informed.
