Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee will reportedly star in a Bollywood film, which is to be shot in Sydney.
Lee, who is treated as a rock star in India, is in Mumbai with Prime Minister Tony Abbott and they are expected to make an announcement shortly when the Australian prime minister visits a local cricket club.
The feature film is set to go into production in October and is the first from the recently established Australia-India film fund, News.com.au reported.

The former Australian pace express is a real crowd-pleaser in India and starred in the cricket-themed Bollywood film Victory, and famously sung a duet with the Queen of Bollywood, Asha Boshle, the report added.
