Noted
Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt Tuesday said he would soon make a film
on the betting cartel in cricket with the mysterious death of former
Pakistani coach Bob Woolmer as its peg.
Bhatt,
who was here to inaugurate an acting institute of actor Anupam Kher,
said that the film would have a potent combination of cricket, love
story and betting in it.
"It will not be a film on Bob Woolmer
himself but his death will definitely be an inspiration to the film,"
he told reporters here.
The lead role in the yet-to-be-named
film will be enacted by Emraan Hashmi and the role of Woolmer will be
done by an actor from abroad.
Bhatt earlier inaugurated "Actor Prepares" - the acting school set up by Kher - with Punjab Governor S.F. Rodrigues.
Kher,
who himself had his professional acting lessons at Panjab University
here nearly four decades ago, has set up the institute to provide
professional acting training to aspiring actors from the region.
He recently made selections for the first batch of 25 students.
The
acting institute will be run in collaboration with the Chandigarh
administration on the premises of a government crafts institute.
"Bollywood actors will be part of guest faculty here to give tips to students from their rich experience," Kher said.
