Tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi, seems to be bitten by the acting bug. The international tennis star who married Bollywood actress Lara Dutta just a few months back, is now all set to star in his next home production, courtesy Lara. The proud wife, who turned producer with her recently released film'Chalo Dilli' along with co-producer Krishika Lulla, feels that Mahesh would make a decent on-screen hero. Hence, together they convinced Mahesh to star in their next home production.

The film that will have Mahesh in lead will be a drama thriller and will be directed by'Chalo Dilli' director Shashant Shah. We hope that Lara too will accompany her multi-talented husband on-screen, after all there's nothing better than having a real life couple on the reel screen, as it would just further spice up the chemistry between the two.
