    "editor1": "<p><em>Mumbai, Jan 13 - Former cricketer turned actor S. Sreesanth, who is trying to make his space in showbiz with reality television shows and films, says he aspires to work in a Hollywood movie with Steven Spielberg.<\/em><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<strong>Does he have a wish list of filmmakers he wants to work with?<\/strong><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSreesanth told IANS: &quot;I want to work with Steven Spielberg...whether it is a small role or big in a Hollywood movie, it will be a lifetime experience for me. It will be a dream come true for me. And I always believe that anything can happen in life. I look at my life journey as a miracle.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nExplaining why, he said: &quot;I was born in a small village in Kerala. From there, I went on to play for the Kerala state team and international test cricket for India, and now I am working in TV shows and cinema... Any miracle can happen. So yes, working in a Hollywood movie with Spielberg would be &#39;something&#39;.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSreesanth has acted in the Richa Chadha-starrer film &quot;Cabaret&quot;, produced by Pooja Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar, and directed by Kaustav Narayan Niyogi.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn his experience of working in the film, Sreesanth said: &quot;Firstly, I would like to thank Pooja di who took the courage to cast me in the film because when I worked in the film, I was new. I am a cricketer and nobody has seen me as a proper actor. In my first Hindi film, working in the presence of Mahesh Bhatt, Richa Chadha, Gulshan Grover... I am really happy that way.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>According to him, acting and arts was a much natural choice for him after cricket as he loves sports and acting equally.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Stepping into the world of acting was natural to me I guess, because in my family, so many people are into arts, music and acting. In fact, I was the only black sheep that way, who became a sportsman. My father acted in Malayalam films, sister is an actress in Malayalam TV shows, my brother is a musician, my brother-in-law is also a singer.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I always loved cinema, but I loved cricket too. I think in this short span of life, I have managed to do everything that I love.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I am lucky that I have got the opportunity to act in different languages. My latest film &#39;Team 5&#39; released in Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil. I have got a Marathi film offer too.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHaving been a cricketer who spent hours on the ground and practised his game with a certain discipline, how does he deal with the new work culture in the entertainment world?<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Every profession has a different discipline. As a sportsman, I had a different discipline -- practice, gymming, eating...but even when I am acting in a film, eight hours&#39; rest is important because if my body is not well rested, it shows in my eyes and my skin looks dehydrated. The camera captures all the flaws. So I am living a controlled life here too... Having said that, yes I miss the cricket ground.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAsked if he was the best entertainer in the dressing room of the Indian cricket team during his time, he said, &quot;No no, Bhajji pa (Harbhajan Singh) is the best, I would say, followed by Yuvi pa (Yuvraj Singh). I was good at the party scene, I used to dance.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
