Former Indian pacer S Sreesanth who bid adieu to his career last month, is now all set to feature in the Bollywood movie, ‘Item Number One’, which is being directed by Paalooran.
Sreesanth will also be singing a fast number for which recording has begun in a studio in Kochi. The music in the song has been given by Sajeev Mangalath.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Sreesanth said, “I am honoured and thanks to NNG films, especially Paalooran, the director, and Sajeev, the music director. It is my first Hindi project in which I will be singing a song and dancing. I am grateful that the directors and all the people in Kerala are supporting me, especially after my retirement. I am not from an artistic family, this is not my career, but I will be giving 100 per cent in this profession. As a sports person, with all respect to other cricketers and sportspersons who have done acting, I believe I can do much better.”
“I am playing a good character in the movie. People have seen me dancing on reality shows, but this is a dance-oriented comedy movie. It’s got suspense in the end and a great climax. I am looking forward. I have never danced even in my Tamil movie. It is why I am excited. This is an interesting and challenging role for me,” added Sreesanth.
Sreesanth further said that he will also be doing commentary in cricket matches but his prime focus is on playing league matches and doing movies.
“I have been approached for commentary as well. I will be doing that in between but my focus will be playing league matches and doing as many movies as possible. I just want to give my best in everything I do,” said Sreesanth.
On the other hand, Sreesanth will be playing Samantha’s boyfriend in ‘Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal’. The makers of the film dropped a new track ‘Dippam Dappam’ featuring Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Sethupathi. It is in this song Sreesanth was seen playing Samantha’s boyfriend in the film, whom she apparently ditches to fall in love with Vijay Sethupathi. The cricketer-turned-actor has so far acted in five films.
