Drew Barrymore 'signs for Bollywood film'

Drew Barrymore has reportedly signed up to play a role in a Bollywood film.

The US actress has joined the cast of The Lifestyle, directed by Santosh Kumar Jain, reports the Hindustan Times.

Jain commented: "I really liked her performance in Charlie's Angels and decided to cast her in my film. Fortunately, she liked the script and agreed instantly.

"The film is about three women from different walks of life, trying to assert their identities. Drew plays the role of a foreigner in the film. The other two will be top Indian actresses."

Filming on the project is expected to begin in November, with producers looking at a 2012 release.
