Sydney, Jan 8 (IANS) Brad Hogg, Australia's main spinner, took time off to do a scene for upcoming Bollywood movie 'Victory' while waiting for his hearing before the International Cricket Council following India's complaint against him.

Hogg was shooting for the movie alongside Brett Lee, Stuart Clarke, Michael Hussey and Brad Haddin.

While what happened at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) last week seemed to have been forgotten, or put aside, the Australian cricketers were all shooting for a real movie Tuesday at the SCG, the venue of the controversies that threw world cricket into disarray.

The Indians, meanwhile, went to Bondi beach for a game of beach volleyball.

Indians have complained that Hogg called Indian skipper Anil Kumble a 'bastard' and the ICC will have its hearing on that matter Tuesday evening.

The shoot for the Bollywood movie 'Victory' had the Aussies in green and gold, 'fighting' against two actors, who were clad in Indian cricket team's blue uniform. The movie is said to have a budget of around $8 to 10 million (about Rs.320 to 400 million).

Lee, who has starred in advertisements for Indian products, has also done a music number with well-known Indian singer Asha Bhonsle in the past. In 'Victory', Lee plays himself and is said to be taking the part very seriously.

'I'm looking forward to doing other things after cricket, and this is a nice little stepping stone,' he told local reporters. 'A special part of my heart always goes out to India. I have been there 20-odd times since 1994, and I have fallen in love with the country. I love the people and I love the culture.'
