Nicolas Cage 'for Bollywood gangster film'

Nicolas Cage has reportedly been confirmed to play one of the main parts in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's next project Broken Horses.

Chopra is presently in Los Angeles casting for the Bollywood gangster film, which begins shooting in early 2011, the Hindustan Times reports.

A source revealed: "Cage has been confirmed for one of the leading roles just a few days ago."

Broken Horses is a remake of Chopra's earlier hit, the Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit starrer Parinda.

"Broken Horses keeps the soul of Parinda intact. But it explores the same genre in a diverse setup," added the source.

Chopra was recently honoured in a retrospective of his work at the First Indian Film Festival of London.

'purchases pyramid tomb'

Nicolas Cage has reportedly purchased a 9-foot tall pyramid-shaped structure built in a New Orleans cemetery.

According to TMZ, the National Treasure star bought the pyramid with the expectation that it will be his final resting place.

It is unclear how much Cage paid for the tomb or why he intends to use it as his gravesite.

The 46-year-old was recently ordered to pay East West Bank more than $2m (£1.29m). He also sold two historic New Orleans homes in a foreclosure auction because of his financial woes.
