Come June and movie buffs in India will be in for a pleasant surprise when they see former world boxing champion Mike Tyson shaking a leg in a Bollywood flick.
Tyson has just finished shooting for a promo song for Feroze Nadiadwala's production Fool and Final which is set to hit theatres on June 1.
"We shot the promo in Las Vegas and Tyson was very excited about it. It was fun shooting the video. He is like a small child and not at all like the image of him that has been created," director Ahmed Khan told PTI here.
The video, titled Fool Masti will also feature the others stars, including Shahid Kapoor and Sunny Deol, but their parts have been shot earlier, Khan said.
"We had to get him to lip sync some lyrics and dance a few steps. However there was no real problem because boxing itself has a bit of a rythm in it," he said.
The film, which is a comedy thriller is being produced by Feroze Nadiadwala and has a boxing element to it, which is why Tyson was chosen to star in the video.
The video has been shot in the same boxing arena that was used for Slyvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa Six in Las Vegas.
