Mumbai, Aug 8 (TIWN) Hollywood star Nicolas Cage wasn't very keen on portraying himself in the action comedy movie 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent', which will soon drop on OTT.

Talking about his initial reluctance to play the role, Nicolas said: “I had no interest in playing myself in a movie. But then I received a very nice letter from Tom, and I read his script. The first act really terrified me, and by the time I got to acts two and three, I thought Tom is taking us on an adventure that is really quite exciting.”  The movie revolves around a fictionalised version of the actor who is forced to live up to his own legend, channelling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones.
