Chris Kattan: Bollywood Hero Trailer

Here's a first look at our brand new mini-series "Bollywood Hero"!

"Bollywood Hero" is a three-night Bollywood musical event starring Chris Kattan that will premiere on IFC August 6, 7 and 8 at 10pm ET/PT. Kattan plays himself, sort of, in this scripted comedy -- tired of being rejected as a leading-man in Hollywood, he burns his professional bridges in L.A. and accepts a starring role in the Bollywood film "Peculiar Dancing Boy." Fresh off the plane, he's flung into a world of sibling rivalry, cultural faux pas, funding issues and power hungry starlets.

In his quest to become Bollywood's leading leading man, Kattan unexpectedly finds a great dance instructor, trawls India's countryside for his co-star, falls in love and ultimately fulfills dreams he never even imagined. Facing culture clashes, language barriers and complex dance moves, Kattan will stop at nothing to conquer his destiny.

Filmed over ten weeks on location in Mumbai, India, "Bollywood Hero" also co-stars Maya Rudolph, Julian Sands, Neha Dhupia and Pooja Kumar, with guest appearances from Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Coolidge, David Alan Grier and more. Several key crew members from "Slumdog Millionaire" collaborated on the series, including Longinus Fernandes, who choreographed the Oscar-winning "Jai Ho" dance sequence, and who's created numerous dance numbers for the series.

Of course you speak with authority having not even seen it. As a matter of fact it is culturally quite sensitive to India and Chris Kattan plays a buffoon and not some white super hero rushing in. The series plays like a Bollywood movie with songs and elaborate dance scenes interspersed throughout.

Spoony's Bollywood Hero looks more interesting, and that's just sad to consider.

I absolutely loved the mini-series and got the DVD as soon as it was released. Pooja Kumar steals every scene. Amazing.

I thought this was going to be like The Love Guru (a despicable film) but it turned out to be more like Marigold. So good. Viva la Bollywood.
