A Bollywood director is planning to make a film about the mysterious death of cricket coach Bob Woolmer at this year's World Cup.
Mahesh Bhatt revealed the Briton's death would be the theme of a romance movie called Paradise although he will not be named.
"I'm definitely making the film on the entire Woolmer episode though we will not name him anywhere in the story," he explained. "It is a love story against the backdrop of cricket.
"There is betting, there is match fixing. And because it is a love story there have to be songs too."
The Pakistan coach was found dead in his hotel room a day after the team was knocked out of the competition and Jamaican police have suggested he was murdered.
