Steve Keefe, a former mortgage broker from Solihull, who has two<\/span> daughters, is making his debut<\/span> in the world of Bollywood with the film Total Siyapaa, after\u00a0being spotted impersonating the mischievous character – made famous for his madcap antics by English actor Rowan Atkinson – <\/span>by the UK producer of the film<\/span> Roopinder S Sood. <\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The 49 year–<\/span>old,<\/span> who completed shooting scenes as the character of \u2018Mr Percy\u2019 in Total Siyapaa, <\/span>cannot wait to see the film when it premieres on the 7th<\/sup> of March 2014<\/span>. Speaking on this, Keefe said \u2018<\/em>I\u2019m hoping to go to the premiere, and take my two<\/span> daughters along too.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Total Siyapaa, which translates into \u2018Total Chaos\u2019\u00a0 was shot entirely in London at most of the major tourist attractions,<\/span> such as Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge, Albert Bridge and Wimbledon, which took less than a month to film. Mr <\/span>Keefe\u2019s scenes took six days to complete. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Keefe<\/span>, who has been in the look-a-like industry for some time, never expected he would be chosen to play a role in a Bollywood movie: \u2018<\/em> I couldn\u2019t believe it when I got the call, and only started to get excited when I was contracted to the role. I love playing the character and he is loved across the globe, this reflects in the fact that I have been requested to take part in this film.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n
