Brett Lee All Set To Be A Desi Hero

The Australian cricketer has been active in the Bollywood circuit earlier as well. Remember the music video that he did with the legendary singer Asha Bhonsle? He also did a cameo in the cricket-based movie Victory, which starred Harman Baweja. However, this time around, he will be seen in a full-fledged role in a Bollywood film. The announcement was made by none other than Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on his recent visit to India.

Apparently, Lee is going to be part of an Indo-Australian film called UnIndian. The film will be extensively shot in Sydney beginning this October, and the former Australian fast bowler would be paired opposite Tannishtha Chatterjee.
This film will be the first one to be made from the Australia India Film Fund (AIFF). This fund was especially constituted in 2013 to make Australian movies with Indian themes for audience worldwide.
The script for the movie has been written by Thushy Saathi and it will be directed by Anupam Sharma.
"I'm honoured to have been cast as a lead in the first AIFF film, privileged to be working with Anupam Sharma and humbled to be working with an actress of the calibre of Tannishtha Chatterjee," said Lee.
