Australian fast bowler Brett Lee, who doesn’t play Test cricket anymore, will be seen flexing his acting muscles in October in a film titled UnIndian.

The movie, as can be guessed by its title, involves an Indian cast and crew. No, it is not a Bollywood film per se, although its director is Anupam Sharma who lives in Sydney. The story revolves around Brett L, who falls in love with a young Indian woman (Tanishtha Chaterjee).

Knowing that Brett L back in his day was one of the fastest bowlers in the world, and sensing that the storyline is as old as the pyramids, it is likely that the film will disappear from the box office at 145kph.
