Paradorn Srichaphan will star in the sequel of a hit Thai movie opening next month, reports the ATP website.
Srichaphan, who has been sidelined with a wrist injury since 2007, plays the lead role in Bang Rajan II. "When the director called and told me which movie that he was interested in me acting in, I was shocked,” Srichaphan told ATPWorldTour.com. “The first one was a huge hit in Thailand and one of my favourite movies.
"He told me that I would have to be in great shape, but I had already been working in the gym a lot before he called, so it was no problem."
The story said Srichpahan is "sporting a mohawk haircut and a serious six-pack" in the movie.
