Kabir Bedi to star in 'The Broken Key

Acclaimed actor Kabir Bedi, who has featured in international projects like "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", will soon be seen essaying the role of a professor of antiquities in "The Broken Key".

The English film, shot in Italy, is a suspense drama. Kabir plays a professor of antiquities based in Turin.

"'The Broken Key' is a great film to be a part of, especially with the number of incredible international actors especially Rutger Hauer who I had worked with earlier," Kabir, who featured in "Beyond Justice" with Hauer, said in a statement.

The film also stars Michael Madsen and Geraldine Chaplin.

"It's a film set in the past, present and future, and explores the mystery of the Turin Canon," said Kabir.

"The Broken Key", helmed by Italian director Louis Nero, will have a worldwide release later this year.
