From Yahoo News:
Chelsea stars land Bollywood debut
Chelsea stars Frank Lampard and John Terry are being lined up to appear in a Bollywood blockbuster.
The Premiership club has a starring role in the film, titled Jhoom.
It features Bollywood heart-throb Abhishek Bachchan as a devoted Chelsea fan.
:whatever:
The film will be partially shot in London and will include footage of the players in action. Producers are in talks to give Chelsea's star players and manager Jose Mourinho walk-on parts.
Chelsea hope the movie will boost their popularity in India and persuade British Asians to take more of an interest in the club.
"Naturally we are delighted to be involved in a Bollywood movie and we take it as a big compliment to be approached with this storyline and to be associated with this calibre of actors and actresses," said the club's business affairs director Paul Smith.
Bachchan is a Chelsea fan in real life and was recently spotted in the stands at Stamford Bridge with former Miss World Aishwarya Rai.
He said: "The character I play in the film is a very loyal Chelsea fan.
"I have now had the chance to see Chelsea live after following them over the last few years and the club have given me a jersey with my character's name, Ricky, on it.
"The Premier League is very popular in India and Chelsea has a huge support over there, which is growing all the time."
