This could be your chance to get your face on the big screen when Bollywood comes to Scotand.
The tale tells the story of India’s cricket team's remarkable victory in the 1983 World Cup, when former captain Kapil Dev and his team made history.
The film will feature the likes of glamorous Bollywood star Deepika Padukone and her husband Ranveer Singh. Singh will play Kapil Dev, while Padukone will play his on-screen wife.
Producers have deemed Edinburgh and Glasgow the perfect backdrop to shoot the film - with the Grange cricket grounds in the running to be featured - and are now looking for 400 "Asian extras" from to star in the film.
Speaking to the Daily Record, Casting assistant Alishah Ahmed said: “We’ll need a lot of people to actually sit in the cricket ground while the game is being played, essentially being the crowd or audience at the match and in other scenes extras will be needed in the airport to be members of the public.”
“Word has spread that Glasgow and Edinburgh are really nice places to film and, of course, actually cheaper for them to come all the way from India with all the cast and crew than it is for them to film over there, which is crazy.
“But we also have a lot of big locations and with Scotland being so green and scenic, with all the parks and the airports being so close geographically to the cities, it makes perfect sense.

“Such a big production provides people here with jobs. We’re looking for 400 people, so that’s 400 jobs from this production alone.
“Everyone will get a chance to see how big Bollywood is and with all the singing and dancing, if you get to be a part of it, it’ll be exciting.”
Filming will begin in June for about 20 days. Extras must be aged 16 to 65 and live and have the right to work in the UK.
The film is due to be released next year.
