Sreesanth's new role

It seems filmmakers have spotted potential in Sreesanth, known for his on-field antics and drama. PTI reports a director in Kerala who wants to make his first film starring Sreesanth alongside popular Malayalam filmstar Mamooty.

Abu said Sreesanth's role would be more than just a cameo.

"It will not be a guest role, but certainly an important role, which will have its influence on the story," he asserted.
