In a twist on Slumdog Millionaire, there is a movie in the works about two Indian minor-league pitchers who grew up poor in Lucknow, India and finished first and second in a reality TV show called "Million Dollar Arm." Before the reality TV show, Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel had never touched a baseball, but went on to sign contracts with the Pittsburgh Pirates, becoming the first Indian players to sign baseball contacts in the US . Singh and Patel are currently withBrandenton in the Gulf Coast League.
As indicated in the article the movie script has almost finished being written and the movie should be done next year. I can't wait to see it.
