Hollywood actor John Shea will play a villain in a Tamil film Achamundu Achamundu (We Are Afraid) featuring Prasanna and Sneha, its NRI director Arun Vaidyanathan said.
Recent releases of Shea include A Broken Sole, The Insurgents and Heartbreak Hospital.
Shea, who won an Emmy for Baby M, a 1988 mini-series, will also be seen in a Hollywood forthcoming release Bombshell.
Achamundu..., revolving around a global Tamil-centric issue, will be shot completely in the US. Being made in Tamil and English, the movie will have a global release in 2009, Vaidyanathan told reporters.
Karthik Raja has been signed to score the music.
