Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda is set for his next Hollywood project, as he teams up with action star John Cena and director Sam Hargrave for adrenaline-pumping film “Matchbox”.
Hooda had earlier collaborated with Sam for his 2020 directorial debut "Extraction" for Netflix, starring Chris Hemsworth.
In "Matchbox", Hooda will share screen space with Cena as well as Teyonah Parris of "The Marvels" fame.
"Excited to be working with Sam again. We had a great time on our first collaboration with 'Extraction'. Sam is a master of high-octane storytelling and action. Glad to be joining the team in Budapest," the 48-year-old actor said in a statement.
"Matchbox" is a live-action film based on the iconic Mattel car toyline.
Also starring Jessica Biel and Sam Richardson, the movie is described as an action-packed and globetrotting adventure.
The story will follow a group of childhood friends who must work together to stop an impending worldwide disaster and rediscover their friendship along the way.
Apple Original Films recently acquired the project, which is being developed by Skydance and Mattel Films.
Hargrave is directing the project from a screenplay by David Coggeshall and Jonathan Tropper.
David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger will produce the movie for Skydance, alongside Robbie Brenner for Mattel Films and Jules Daly.
