Director Sameer Khan, who has announced plans to direct a UAE-set action drama, 'Dollars', is inviting portfolios of aspiring actors of any gender and nationality between the ages of 16 and 65, the Gulf News report said.
Prior to his entry into filmmaking, Khan organised Bollywood-related events such as Salman Khan's 'Ready' premiere.
"Dollars is a Hindi feature film. But I am not looking for Indians alone. If you are an American or a Filipino or British, there are roles waiting for them because there's a crucial scene set against a corporate office. I want the film to reflect the cosmopolitan spirit of this country," Khan said.
The final casting decisions will be made by him and renowned casting director Rohan Mapuskar, who chose talents for '3 Idiots' and 'Ferrari Ki Sawari'.
Art director Sabu Cyril, music-duo Sajid-Wajid and choreographer Mudassar Khan are also associated with the project.
Those selected will also be trained in a week-long workshop in Dubai to hone their acting and deportment skills.
