Cricketer-turned-actor Sreesanth said that he wished to work with Hollywood director Steven Spielberg one day. He was talking about his dreams for the future, and his past in an interview.
Sreesanth turned to acting after he was banned from cricket following match-fixing allegations. He then went on to star in the Bollywood movie Aksar 2 as well as the Malayalam film Team 5. Cabaret, which featured him opposite Richa Chadda and Gulshan Devaiah, released on Zee5 recently.
Talking about his dreams in a Manorama report, Sreesanth said, “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.”
The actor then went on to explain his reasons behind the belief. “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 ‘something’.”

Art was always part of Sreesanth’s household. “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,” he said.
The actor considers himself fortunate for having been able to dabble between a lot of things. “I am lucky that I got the opportunity to act in different languages. My latest film Team 5 released in Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil. I have got a Marathi film offer too.”
The actor was recently adjudged the first runner up on Big Boss 12.
