Amitabh Bachchan new film "Teen Patti"

The Hindi film, supposedly inspired by Hollywood's 21, features Siddharth Kher, Dhruv Ganesh, Vaibhav Talwar and Shraddha Kapoor.

The buzz is now that Richard Gere has agreed to share the screen with Amitabh Bachchan, who is playing the lead in Leena Yadavh's movie Teen Patti. The film tells the story of a professor who instructs five of his most brilliant students on how to win at high stakes gambling.

Richard Gere, who is famous for his work in Pretty Woman and Chicago, will make his Bollywood debut in a brief cameo after Pierce Brosnan reportedly rejected the role.

The Hollywood actor is well known across India for raising awareness about AIDS, while he also gained notoriety for kissing Shilpa Shetty at an event in New Delhi.
