Mike Tyson wants to try something new -- acting in Bollywood movies.
Tyson said the energy on the sets of a music video he recently shot for a new comedy got him thinking about trying to do more Bollywood work, The Times of India reported Monday.
The former heavyweight boxing champion said in an interview that Firoz Nadiadwala, producer of "Fool n Final," had approached him with a script.
"Firoz has discussed a movie with me," the newspaper quoted Tyson as saying.
"We seriously intend to work toward it," he said, without disclosing any details.
Tyson, 40, danced to Bollywood music at a two-day shoot in Las Vegas last month for a music video to promote "Fool n Final," about a diamond heist.
"The atmosphere was very congenial, happy and energetic," the newspaper quoted Tyson as saying.
Tyson plays himself in the music video, set for release later this month.
