Shia LaBeouf is all set to star in Bill Murray starrer comedy 'Rock the Kasbah' despite his recent retirement declaration on Twitter.
Also joining the cast are Bruce Willis, Kate Hudson, Danny McBride and Zooey Deschanel which is being directed by Barry Levinson, said the Hollywood Reporter.
The casting news comes two weeks after LaBeouf tweeted that he was retiring from "all public life" because of "attacks against his artistic integrity."
The actor had announced that he would retire following allegations that he had plagiarised the work of a graphic novelist for his short film.
'Rock the Kasbah' is about Richie Vance, a a has-been rock manager who takes his last remaining client on a USO tour of Afghanistan.
When Richie finds himself in Kabul, abandoned, penniless and without his passport, he discovers a young girl with an extraordinary voice and manages her through Afghanistan's version of American Idol, the wildly popular Afghan Star.
