Man of the match and hero of the day Rajeev Pillai, who won the CCL match for Kerala Strikers the other day at Kochi, will soon be seen in a Bollywood movie, if all goes well. Rajeev has been offered a role in Priyadarshan's sequel to Malaamal Weekly, starring Nana Patekar and Shreyas Thalpade.
""But Priyadarshan sir gave me the role much before the win, says a very composed Rajeev, not at all peturbed by the sudden gush of congratulations and accolades on him. This happened at Hyderabad, where we played our first match."" Ever since the Kerala team won the match on Sunday, countless people from the film fraternity has been calling me. It's great, he says. Besides Mohanlal and Mammootty who were of course, present at the game, stars like Dileep personally called him to congratulate, besides people from other fields. ""But at the same time, it's a bit overwhelming too. I can't guarantee that I will perform equally well in the coming games."" Rajeev, a dentist turned professional model has previously acted in a Malayalam movie - City of God. The original - Maalamal Weekly, was lauded by film goers although it received poor reviews from critics.
