Melbourne, September 19 (ANI): The makers of the upcoming 'B.I.G.' movie will be holding auditions to select suitable actors for portraying Biggie Smalls and his friends, Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Faith Evans.

The decision to cast Diddy and Evans in the movie was told to casting agencies this week.

The agencies were also given the details about the desired candidates to portray these characters.

According to Moviehole, Diddy is described as: "in his 20s, African American, good-looking, charismatic and stylish, he's a cocky, hard-working, ambitious executive at Uptown Records who is blown away by Biggie's skills and tells Biggie to stop dealing drugs or they won't work with him."

"Fired from his position, Puffy doesn't miss a beat and starts up his own label, Bad Boy Records. After a few rough starts, the label hits it big, bringing fame to Puffy and everyone he touches. Puffy wants to change the world, and we get the feeling he just might succeed," the report adds.

The person to play Evans should also be a talented singer in her 20s.

"Seen in her late teens to early 20s, she is a beautiful, talented singer with a background in gospel music and the first female artist to be signed to Puffy's Bad Boy record label. To Biggie's surprise, she also has beat box skills. Faith and Biggie meet at a photo shoot, and get married shortly after, to their friends' astonishment. She deeply loves B.I.G. but his interests lie elsewhere," the website reported. (ANI)
