Hollywood actor John Travolta is likely to star in director Shekhar Kapoor’s highly anticipated film Paani .

“I have been offered a film that I am considering doing... I believe it is an honest Bollywood film and it is called Paani , by Shekhar Kapoor. He has asked me to be a part of it,” Travolta said, on the sidelines of International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards here.

“I have known Shekhar for a while now. Even though the script does not have it Shekhar said he will put a song to make it truly Bollywood. I am open to working in Hindi films if I like the story and my part,” he added.
