You
had
your
eyes
wide
open
when
you
saw
Denise
Richards
romancing
our
Bollywood
action
hero
Akshay
Kumar
in
Kambakht
Ishq
you
had
your
jaw
drop
when
you
saw
Sylvester
Stallone
having
a
laugh
with
our
size
zero
girl
Kareena
Kapoor
on
the
sets
of
the
same
film.
We
recently
broke
the
news
that
producer
director
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
has
signed
Hollywood
actor
Mickey
Rourke
for
his
next
big
project.
It's
the
West
meets
the
East
season.
But
wait...there's
something
more
which
is
going
to
get
you
blackjacked!
Leena
Yadav
Bajaj's
film
Teen
Patti,
rings
a
bell?
The
high-stake
gambling
film
with
a
cause
which
is
headed
by
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Ajay
Devgan,
R
Madhavan,
Raima
Sen
and
many
others
is
due
to
release
this
year.
The
film
is
said
to
have
been
inspired
from
a
true
story
of
MIT
students
who
mastered
the
art
of
card
counting
and
took
Las
Vegas
casinos
for
millions
in
winnings.
In
fact,
Hollywood
made
its
own
version
of
the
film
last
year,
the
Kevin
Spacey
starrer
21.
Now
seeing
our
Bollywood
directors
getting
inspired
by
the
western
neighbours
is
one
thing,
but
seeing
these
big
Hollywood
stars
getting
inspired
by
our
Bollywood
cinema
is
another.
And
to
join
the
ongoing
list
of
biggies
is
an
Irish
born
Hollywood
actor
who
swept
the
entire
world
by
his
suave
acting
skills.
Following
a
stage
acting
career
he
rose
to
popularity
in
the
television
series
Remington
Steele
after
which
there
was
no
looking
back
and
what
followed
were
blockbuster
films
like
Mrs.
Doubtfire,
Golden
Eye,
Die
Another
Day,
Tomorrow
Never
Dies,
Laws
of
Attraction,
The
Thomas
Crown
Affair,
The
Tailor
of
Panama
and
Mama
Mia
to
name
a
few.
He
had
the
biggest
and
the
maddest
female
following
in
the
U.K
during
his
'Bond'
days
and
of
course,
he
was
popularly
known
around
the
world
as
'Bond...James
Bond'.
Ladies
and
gentlemen...the
newest
name
to
join
the
elite
list
of
Hollywood
actors
in
a
Bollywood
film
is
Pierce
Brosnan
in
Teen
Patti.
We've
known
from
our
sources
that
Mr.
Brosnan's
scenes
were
entirely
shot
in
Oxford,
U.K.
and
the
film
kick
starts
with
him
in
a
sitting
cameo.
Whether
or
not
he
will
be
sharing
screen
space
with
Big
B
or
Ajay
Devgan
will
only
come
to
light
when
the
film
releases.
That's
not
all.
We've
also
come
to
know
that
Jon
Harris
who
edited
Guy
Ritchie
film
Snatch
has
also
been
roped
in
to
edit
Teen
Patti.
Looks
like
it's
all
going
to
be
a
clean
cut
for
director
Leena
Yadav
Bajaj
who
is
all
set
to
win
hands
down
by
roping
in
Pierce
Brosnan
and
Jon
Harris.
The
question
remains
-
Are
they
worth
the
gamble?
We
heard
it
through
the
grapevine
that
the
Hinduja
Brothers
have
also
got
a
big
stake
in
Teen
Patti.
So
is
it
their
U.K
connection
which
worked
to
get
Brosnan
and
Harris?
Well,
it
just
might
be.
