If Bollywood can get its manicured fingers into cricket, why should not a cricketer drop bat and ball to grab a role in films? It’s been done before, of course, with disastrous consequences. But who’s to tell that to S Sreesanth, the angry young man of cricket, who has been pretty vocal about his route to stardom via the silver screen? According to a source, Sreesanth is about to sign a film. The buzz is that he will be playing the lead in a Telugu project (eat your heart out, Bollywood) with four actresses in it, including a top South Indian star. The story is about a cricketer who turns into a star. The angry young man of cricket, Sreesanth, for whom this script might have been written, should be most comfortable with his debut. The producer has asked the Team India paceman, who is also part of the Preity Zinta’s Mohali team, for just 15 days to shoot his scenes. Sreesanth’s response is awaited. The star player, notorious for doing a jig on the field each time he claims a wicket, should be a treat to watch on screen. According to the source, the news of the Telugu film was broken by Sreesanth himself. “He drove his new SUV onto the sets of an ad film that M S Dhoni and Ishant Sharma were shooting and took his teammates for a long drive. When they got back, Sreesanth was heard telling them how excited he is about the film. He also told them that he would be signing the film very soon,” added the source.
