Mumbai — In a turn of events as bizarre as his consistent under-performance, England’s Jos Butler has been roped in by Bollywood bigwigs to star as a tragic hero in their upcoming sports drama.
From World Cup to Silver Screen: Butler’s Trans-Formative Journey
In a shocking development, after making only 62 runs in 7 matches at the T20 World Cup, Butler has decided to put his pocketful of failures to good use. Instead of working on his form in cricket, the England opener has signed a multi-film deal with prominent Bollywood producers. His batting might not be hitting off, but his career as a tragic hero, who always falls short right at the climax, seems promising. The producers believe that in Butler, they have found a hero far more tragic than Devdas, and far more relatable than Kabir Singh.
Introducing ‘Catch Failwa’ – Bollywood’s First Cricket Tragedy
The first film in the pipeline is titled ‘Catch Failwa’, a gripping tale of a cricketer who, despite his best efforts, fails to make a run. The term ‘failwa’ (a combination of ‘fail’ and ‘Bhaiwa’, meaning brother in Hindi), coined jokingly by critics, has now been embraced by Butler as he waltzes into a whole new career. Fans are already bracing themselves for gallons of tears which Butler will be shedding in slo-mo, closely mimicking his run rate.
“An Inspiration to Underachievers Everywhere” Says Director
“Butler’s performance in the T20 World Cup was heartbreaking. It was as if he had a personal vendetta against the run rate,” remarked the director of ‘Catch Failwa’, known for his larger-than-life dramas. He further added, “He was so consistently tragic that we realized we need to immortalize his struggle on celluloid for all aspiring cricketers with single-digit scores to relate to.”
