West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell, who is ready to make a foray into the world of entertainment with an international music video, may also explore a career in Bollywood.

“Yes it is true that I’m exploring a career in the performing arts. I will be launching my first international music video with the main focus in India this year and then maybe explore acting in Bollywood films,” the cricketer said in a statement on Saturday.

Produced by Gemini Musiq based in Los Angeles, the production house behind Grammy-winning singer Justin Bieber’s recent album “Sorry”, Russell will be launching his music this year.

This comes after West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo came out with numbers like “Champion”, “Jaegerbomb” and “Trip abhi baki hai”.

The cricketer was given tips and notes on how to go about his passion by Indian actress Mallika Sherawat in San Antonio, Texas. One of the projects might even see the two collaborating.

Venus Entertainment Group will be taking care of Russell’s branding and management globally.

Presently, the Carribean all-rounder has been ruled out for the current season of the Indian Premier League. He was a member of the Shah Rukh Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders as he was found indulged in violation of whereabouts clause under anti-doping rules by World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Following this, he has banned for one year starting from January 31.

The charges against the cricketer were brought by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) in March 2016. And an independent anti-doping disciplinary panel announced the decision of ban.
