He is remembered for chewing off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear, but boxer Mike Tyson is all set to make a name for himself in a totally different field – as a Bollywood item song hero.

Producer Firoze A. Nadiadwala has invited Tyson to star in a promotional video for his comedy thriller Fool And Final in June this year.



"We thought Mike Tyson would be the perfect choice for this promotional video because the film does have an element of boxing in it. Also all the stars of the film including Sunny Deol are huge fans of the boxer," Nisha Chattani, a media consultant for the film said in Mumbai.

The film, which is being directed by Ahmed Khan , stars Sunny, Shahid Kapur , Ayesha Takia , Vivek Oberoi and Sameera Reddy and is scheduled for a June release in theatres.

"Ahmed himself will shoot the video and Tyson will fly down to Mumbai in early June to shoot it. The video will primarily be released as a promotional item, but it could be included in the film as well," she said.

While the final details are still being worked out, Chattani said the video would be "very unique" and will star all the stars of the film in it along with Tyson.

Sunny stars as a boxer in the film.

Tyson, one of boxing's most colourful characters, has seen his career take a hit after he was convicted of rape in 1992. He currently faces charges of drug possession and driving under the influence of drugs in an Arizona court in which he has pleaded not guilty.
