Mike Tyson says he wants to act in Bollywood movies

Mumbai, India – Mike Tyson wants to try something new – acting in Bollywood movies.

Tyson said the energy on the sets of a music video he recently shot for a new comedy got him thinking about trying to do more Bollywood work, The Times of India reported Monday.

The former heavyweight boxing champion said in an interview that Firoz Nadiadwala, producer of “Fool n Final,” had approached him with a script.

“Firoz has discussed a movie with me,” the newspaper quoted Tyson as saying.

“We seriously intend to work toward it,” he said, without disclosing any details.

Tyson, 40, danced to Bollywood music at a two-day shoot in Las Vegas last month for a music video to promote “Fool n Final,” about a diamond heist.

“The atmosphere was very congenial, happy and energetic,” the newspaper quoted Tyson as saying.

Tyson plays himself in the music video, set for release later this month.

He 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.”

Los Angeles – The Game was charged Monday with making a criminal threat and possessing a firearm in a school zone, authorities said.

The felony charges against the 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, stemmed from a fight during a Feb. 24 pickup basketball game in South Los Angeles, the district attorney’s office said.

Taylor pulled a gun from his red Cadillac Escalade after punching a player on the opposing team and threatened to shoot him, police said.

The hip-hop star was arrested May 11 at his Glendale home by police executing a search warrant and was released on $50,000 bail. He also is charged with exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer.

Taylor was scheduled to be arraigned today in Los Angeles.

He faces more than five years in state prison if convicted.

His attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
