Hollywood-Bollywood collaboration


Wow, it's about time. Well, I know that M. Shyamalan's 'The Happening' is the first but it hasn't been released yet so it doesn't count. The movie is called 'Racing the Monsoon' and will be starring Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones as the lead couple. The shooting will begin in January 2009.

Racing the Monsoon, a sequel to his 1984 superhit flick, 'Romancing the Stone'. The movie, an action thriller about a diamond robbery on an Indian train, would pair Douglas with wife Catherine Zeta Jones.

The film will also have Matt Damon. (Omg, omg, omg! I love Matt Damon) I hope they hire some indian actors/actresses. Someone who can act good. Anyone, but Mallika Sherawat. She had her time in the Jackie Chan movie, that's enough.

Interestingly, Douglas is reportedly keen to have some song-and-dance - popular Bollywood staple - in Racing the Monsoon!

“I have had an interesting and wonderful education in Indian music and the movie better have some songs,” Douglas is quoted as saying. Douglas added that he has been “following and studying Indian culture” closely and has been “fascinated by it”.

Interesting. Looking forward to it.

Note: There's a reason to why I didn't post a pic of Michael Douglas
