There's something about Shilpa that can make anyone go weak in the knees, Mike Tyson

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,June 29 2007]

Shilpa Shetty continues to fly high. After her bagging a true blue international venture – Uru Patel's 'Hanuman', comes the news that the former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson wishes to work with the actress in a Bollywood movie.

Tyson who recently did a promotional video for Feroz Nadiadwala's 'Fool N Final', has admitted to his new found love for Bollywood films. He now wants to act in more films and Shilpa Shetty is on the top of his wish-list of co-stars.

Tyson says the energy on the sets of the music video of 'Fool N Final' that he shot in Las Vegas got him to think about trying out more Bollywood work. But what is it that made him join Shilpa's long list of admirers in the West? He says it's her beauty, grace, wit and the way she carries herself is what made him think of her as the ideal co-star. There's something about her that can make anyone go weak in the knees, he remarks.

Shilpa's spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar says he is aware of Tyson's wish. Shilpa is known to have the best physique in Bollywood, while Tyson is known for his physique in the world of boxing. Quite a lethal combination it could be, he comments.

And what kind of role could Tyson play opposite Shilpa? Obviously he is a little old to be paired with her as her love interest. Maybe he will do just fine as her 'Big Brother', Bhagwagar remarks in jest.

So forget about that kissing scene, Iron Mike! Anyways, after all the hoopla about Richard Gere's kisses, Shilpa is sure to be wary of all that. Regardless, it would be really interesting to watch the dusky actress-turned-diva alongside the 'Kid dynamite' on the big screen.
