Why do non-actors get movies in India?





The latest example of this being Anil Kumble. Cricket365 reports that Kumble will be making his Bollywood debut in Meerabai Not Out with Mandira Bedi. Granted it is only a cameo appearance, but I would hate to see this become a trend. Remember Ajay Jadeja in Khel? God, he was awful and his voice was like nails on a blackboard. Brian Lara will also soon be seen in a movie titled Dulha Mil Gaya.



Why should non-actors with no passion for the medium be given exposure when there are countless others with skills and talent roaming penniless on streets of Bombay? Novelty value aside, I can see the justification for Kumble because the movie has cricket as the backdrop, but Lara? You don't need to be rocket scientist to figure out the theme with a title like Dulha Mil Gaya.
