Bollywood sensation Deepika Padukone is looking for Scot co-stars
Now film bosses are on the hunt for hundreds of local Asian extras to appear along side some of India's biggest celebs.
A massive 400 people are needed for filming next month to take part in the magic of Bollywood.
This includes Deepika’s husband Ranveer Singh who will play captain Kapil Dev on his journey to become a national hero.
The Sunday Mail reported that Casting assistant Alishah Ahmed said: “We’ll need a lot of people to actually sit in the cricket ground while the game is being played, essentially being the crowd or audience at the match and in other scenes extras will be needed in the airport to be members of the public.”

“Word has spread that Glasgow and Edinburgh are really nice places to film and, of course, actually cheaper for them to come all the way from India with all the cast and crew than it is for them to film over there, which is crazy.
“But we also have a lot of big locations and with Scotland being so green and scenic, with all the parks and the airports being so close geographically to the cities, it makes perfect sense.

“Such a big production provides people here with jobs. We’re looking for 400 people, so that’s 400 jobs from this production alone.
“Everyone will get a chance to see how big Bollywood is and with all the singing and dancing, if you get to be a part of it, it’ll be exciting.”
Extras must be aged 16 to 65 and live and have the right to work in the UK.
