The two are set to appear in a Bollywood film that will feature the life of an avid follower of Chelsea. The movie will be called Jhoom.
It features Bollywood heart-throb Abhishek Bachchan as the devoted Chelsea fan. Some scenes of the film will be shot in London and will include footage of the players in action.
The club sees this break as an opportunity to further promote the club in India where the game is popular.
According to the club's business affairs director Paul Smith: "From a Chelsea perspective, we have been looking at ways to reach out to the Brit-Asian community and play a leading role by involving them more in football.
"But we are also looking to Asia, particularly India, as part of the strategy of extending the Chelsea brand into new markets.
"In contrast to the approach taken previously by other clubs, the Chelsea strategy is focused on media and the power of communicating the club's image."
Smith added: "Nothing compares with the glamour and appeal of Bollywood and its stars. Making a connection to the new football fans of India through Bollywood confirms Chelsea's status as the leading Premiership club."
The film will be released next May.
Could this be the first Bollywood film I'll get my hands on? Maybe.
