New Delhi, Jun 29: He is the latest celebrity from the international arena to fall in love with Bollywood!

A brief appearance in a promotional video for Ahmed Khan’s Fool N final has whetted the appetite of former boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson for donning the greasepaint in Bollywood films.

Having experienced the “Bollywood magic” once, Tyson now wants to act in more films. And, topping his wish list of co-stars is actor Shilpa Shetty.

Tyson says "the energy on the sets" of the music video of Fool N final that he shot in Las Vegas, made him think about trying out more Bollywood work.

But what made him Join Shilpa’s long list of admirers in the West? “It’s Shilpa’s beauty, grace, wit and the way she carries herself. There’s something about her that can make anyone go weak in the knees,” Tyson said.

Commenting on Tyson’s keenness to work with Shilpa, the dusky lady’s spokesperson dale Bhagwagar said,”Shilpa is known to have the best physique in Bollywood, while Tyson is known for his physique in the world of boxing. Quite a lethal combination it could be.”

And what kind of role could Tyson play opposite Shilpa?

“Obviously he is a little old to be paired with her as her love interest. Maybe he will do just fine as her Big Brother,” Bhagwagar said in jest.

A romantic pairing for Tyson opposite Shilpa in a Bollywood film may have been ruled out but it would nevertheless be really interesting to watch the dusky actor-turned-diva alongside the ‘kid dynamite’ on the big Screen.

Tyson is the latest in the line of Hollywood celebrities who have express interest in working in Bollywood . Last year, Hollywood’s Will Smith had also expressed his desire to work with former Miss World Aishwarya Rai (now, Aishwarya Bachchan) in a Bollywood film.
