A Malaysian film company is joining hands with an Indian production house to make a football movie that could feature action hero Jackie Chan, Hollywood biggie Danny Devito and Bollywood stars like Jackie Shroff, Jimmy Shergill and Juhi Chawla.

The New Straits Times Wednesday said the movie, titled "90 mins", will be released in July in conjunction with the World Cup 2006 in Germany. It is being co-produced by Rishi Creations Sdn Bhd of Malaysia and India's P.K. Productions.

The action comedy will be directed by Bollywood's Iqbaal Rizvi who will be assisted by local director Syed Azidi, the paper said.

It said the producers were hopeful of getting Jackie Shroff, Juhi Chawla and Jimmy Shergill.

Along with the expected Bollywood and Hollywood stars would be Malaysia's Harith Iskander, Shamser, Nurfazura and Syanie. The film will be shot in locations in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and the Genting Highlands.

The producers are hoping to release the film internationally and receive popular acclaim like "Bend it Like Beckham".

Bollywood movies and songs are extremely popular in Malaysia and entertainment functions have a generous dose of Bollywood songs and dances despite the fact that most Malaysians do not understand Hindi.

Malaysian stores selling video and audio records prominently display the latest releases from Bollywood. Malaysian tourism is courting Indian film producers by offering shooting locales at much lesser rates to what they get in Australia or Switzerland.
