AUSSIE cricket great Brett Lee says he was actually quite comfortable filming his first ever sex scene. 
 
The former Test fast bowler stars in Australian-made, Bollywood-themed romantic comedy unINDIAN, which premiered in Sydney on Wednesday and is released around Australia next Thursday, October 15.

The 38-year-old has filmed music video clips, commercials and made brief cameos in television and Bollywood movies before, but the Australian Indian Film Fund movie is his first leading role in a major film.

Lee stars as a typical Aussie who falls in love with a single-mother from an Indian background and explores the layers of Indian cultures within Australia.

The most striking test of Lee's acting skills comes midway through the film when he films a sex scene with Bollywood co-star Tannishtha Chatterjee.


The scene shows the 310 Test wicket-taker and Chatterjee appearing naked during the scene set in the female lead's bedroom, but Lee reveals the scene was not captured how you might imagine.

Lee said he was nervous leading up to the scene, but credits director Anupam Sharma for making both actors feel comfortable during the slightly awkward act.






"To feel so comfortable going in to doing the sex scene or the erotic scene, which was all done tastefully. Yes, it was embarrassing, but I found that emotional scene, getting myself set for that, was probably the hardest thing."

Sharma, who has been friends with Lee since they filmed an ad together for Kingfisher beer in Adelaide several years ago, said he has no regrets about using Lee in such a pivotal role in the film.

"I'll let people make their own judgement," he said.

"His family saw it and I think they gave it the best compliment, they said in the beginning, after five minutes we didn't think it was Brett Lee, we thought it was Will Anderson.
