Mike Tyson wants to become a Bollywood star.
The former boxing world champion claims Bollywood producer Firoz Nadiadwala has approached him with a film script.
He said: "Firoz has discussed a movie with me. We seriously intend to work towards it."
Tyson, 40, danced to Bollywood music at a two-day shoot in Las Vegas last month for a music video to promote the Nadiadwala produced film 'Fool N Final', about a diamond heist.
Tyson plays himself in the promo, due for release later this month.
The controversial pugilist said: "I was in that phase when I didn't mind trying out something different. The script seemed very interesting, with lots of excitement thrown in."
Tyson believes there are similarities between acting and fighting in the ring.
He claimed: "In both the fields, in order to survive and triumph, you need focus and to be highly disciplined and determined."
Tyson is facing charges of drug possession and driving under the influence of drugs for an arrest in Scottsdale last year and had to be given special dispensation by a judge in Phoenix to appear in the video.
US boxer Mike Tyson wants to try something new, like acting in India's Bollywood movies.
The former heavyweight world boxing champion has said the energy on the sets of a promotional video he recently shot for a new Indian movie got him thinking about attempting more Bollywood work, an Indian newspaper reported today.
Tyson said in The Times of India interview that Firoz Nadiadwala, producer of Fool n Final - for which Tyson shot the video - had approached him with another film script.
"Firoz has discussed a movie with me," the paper quoted him as saying.
"We seriously intend to work toward it," Tyson said without disclosing details.
Last month, Tyson danced to Bollywood music at a two-day film shoot in Las Vegas for a music video to promote Fool n Final, a movie about a diamond heist.
"The atmosphere was very congenial, happy and energetic," the daily quoted Tyson as saying.
The slapstick comedy is about two mob groups clashing over diamonds, which one gang tries to ship from the Middle East to India.
Tyson plays himself in the music video, set for release later this month.
The boxer said Nadiadwala explained the concept of the music video to him earlier this year.
"I was, anyway, in that phase when I didn't mind trying out something different," he said. "The script seemed very interesting, with lots of excitement thrown in."
Tyson, who at the age of 20 became the youngest heavyweight boxing champion in history in 1986, said there were many similarities between acting and boxing.
"In both the fields, in order to survive and triumph you need focus and to be highly disciplined and determined," he was quoted as saying.
