Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand will soon feature in a guest role in actor-director Revathi’s film…
Revathi is known for her critically acclaimed film on HIV/AIDS, “Phir Milenge”, starring Shilpa Shetty and Salman Khan.
The proposed film with Anand will revolve round the theme of chess – an idea suggested by Simi Garewal, Revathi told reporters here.”I won’t mind if she casts a glamour girl opposite me,” quipped Anand.
The film is still in the planning stage, but the grandmaster is eagerly waiting to appear on the big screen after conquering the world of chess.

Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Anand deserves it. In fact I hope he takes the crown in 2007. Chess needs more than a good player to hold the crown. We need someone who is a spokesman/ambassadeur for chess to drawn the crowds and sponsors. Anand is great at it. I hope he pulls it off in 2007.
I would love to see a tournament with Kramnik, Topalov, Judit Polgar, Anand, Carlsen, Mamedyarov, Radjabov, Ponomariov, Gata Kamsky, Onischuk, Nakumara, Karjakin
Anand has AIDS?
