Mumbai, Feb 2 (IANS) Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has expressed a desire to watch Bollywood film Saala Khadoos, which delves into the story of a boxing coach.
"I'd like to see this boxing film," Tyson, who has also acted in a couple of international films, posted on his Facebook page, along with a link of a review by an Indian publication about "Saala Khadoos".
Tyson's interest in the movie seems to be natural given that he holds the record of being the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles at 20 years of age.
"Saala Khadoos" has also been made in Tamil titled "Irudhi Suttru". It is the story of an aggressive boxing coach who finds a protege in a fisherwoman and pushes her to become a successful boxer.
Real life kickboxer Ritika Singh, who's all of 22, has made her acting debut with the film, which is directed by Sudha Kongara Prasad and backed by National Award winning filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani.
