Hollywood Bollywood News & Gossips

Bollywood's leading male actor, Shah Rukh Khan, will play the coach of a girls' field hockey team in a new Hindi film to be

produced later this year.

The film is inspired by the 2002 crossover hit ``Bend It Like Beckham,'' in which the daughter of conservative Sikh parents living

in London rebels against tradition by playing on a soccer team, the New Delhi Television web site said.

``Chak De,'' or ``Go For It,'' as the film is tentatively titled, deals with how Khan's character pushes a mediocre field hockey

team to victory.

Director Shimit Amin is busy with preproduction work, while the casting director is looking for fresh faces for the hockey team.

Auditions team members are over and a few names have been shortlisted, the web site said.

The girls selected for the film will have to undergo intensive two-month field hockey training.

Filmfare Magazine recently named Khan India's favorite and top-earning actor. He has appeared in more than 50 movies,

including the blockbusters, ``Main Hoon Na'' (I'm Here), ``Kal Ho Naa Ho'' (Tomorrow May Never Come), ``Kabhi Khushi Kabhi

Gham'' (Sometimes Happiness, Sometimes Sorrow) and ``Devdas.''
