Jackie recently visited India where he attended the premiere of Dasavathaaram. According to Bollyspice, Dasavathaaram starts “in medieval times…leaps to America and back to India and features some of the industry’s most beautiful women…Mallika Sherawat, Asin and Jayapradha.” Jackie starred with Mallika in The Myth, which probably whetted his appetite for India. Jackie further explains his desire:

India is the world’s biggest market for movies. I want to do a film here. I am eagerly waiting for a good project.

Good for Jackie. He will do good in a Bollywood production. He has the singing, dancing and comedic skills to pull it off. His timing is spot on. Just don’t get Hollywood involved. They will insist on hiring Chris Tucker, a man who never met a line he couldn’t yell. Memo to Chris: Screaming your lines doesn’t make them any funnier. Funny is to Chris Tucker what Jack in the Box is to gourmet food. That is to say, they’re both crap.
