Chris Kattan plays a slightly fictionalized version of himself, who's grown tired of playing the kind of goofy roles that made him such a hit on "Saturday Night Live."(Who could forget Mango?) He longs to be the kind of heroic film lead who gets the girl. So Kattan agrees to take passage to India, where he'll star in the film "Peculiar Dancing Boy."

The sorta-fictional Kattan is cast in the Bollywood film because the director can't find any other American actor willing to make the trip to India. "The part about the heroic film lead is not true. I did want to be Indiana Jones when I was young. But now I know that's not the kind of roles I am going to be offered," Kattan says in a telephone interview.

The line between reality and fiction is blurred. Kattan says the fuzziness is similar to "Curb Your Enthusiasm" or "Seinfeld," shows that walked a staggered line between the real and the made up.
