Pierce Brosnan to do a cameo in Teen Patti
Is it raining Bollywood everywhere? Or is it just the East-meets-West season? Whatever be the scenario, Bollywood is steadfastly going global in all areas of film-making. And Teen Patti, Leena Yadav Bajaj's film on casinos and gambling, is yet another big name in the East-meets-West genre.
Teen Patti, a high-stake gambling film, has roped in Hollywood actor and ex-Bond Pierce Brosnan to do a cameo in the film. Based on a true story of a group of MIT students who mastered the art of card counting and bankrupted millions from numerous casinos in Las Vegas, the movie has Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, R Madhavan, Raima Sen and many others in it. It is reported that Brosnan's scenes were shot entirely in Oxford, U.K. and the film kick-starts with his cameo appearance.
Teen Patti is not big because of Brosnan and Big B, but also because of Jon Harris. Yes, the guy who edited Guy Ritchie's flick Snatch has been roped in to editing for Teen Patti.
With Brosnan and Harris, Teen Patti is already making waves. Hope Teen Patti and its gamblers have the potential to loot the box office also.
