MUMBAI: 36-year-old Russell Brand will play a hippie in The President Stole My Girlfriend that he will also produce.

Acoording to Brand, the film has been inspired by a meeting he had with the Warner Bros studio‘s president. "In this movie, the president steals the girlfriend of a sexy hippie. It was inspired by the night I naively invited Warners president Jeff Robinov for dinner," Brand said.

The actor will also be seen in a musical titled Rock of Ages that features actors Tom Cruise and Mary J Blige.
