New Delhi- Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is
going to India, accompanied by his lawyer, an interpreter, a chef and
his own set of security guards, to do a dance sequence for a
Bollywood film, news reports said Thursday.
The boxer will dance to a song in a promotional video for director
Ahmed Khan's film Fool and Final, The Times of India newspaper
reported.

The action comedy stars top Bollywood actors Sunny Deol and Suneil
Shetty, both known as action heroes.

Director Khan said he was going crazy making arrangements for
Tyson who is scheduled to arrive early in May for a three-day shoot.

"He has his own set of security guards and he will come with his
solicitor and an interpreter to Mumbai," Khan said.

He said Tyson was required to keep the US government aware of his
movements as there were several legal cases pending against him in
the US.

"If anything happens to him, the US government will be answerable
to the courts there. So his security is of utmost importance," Khan
said.

Khan said Tyson had wanted a verbal assurance that he would not be
chased by the media.

He also wanted an entire floor of a hotel booked for him and his
associates as he did not want any outsiders around.

"He can't have spicy Indian food, so his chef will accompany him,"
Khan said.

The director plans to have Tyson do a Punjabi Bhangra dance-style
jig with the male actors of the film.
