Actor Chen Kun has been cast in director Jiang Wen's gangster film "Let Bullets Fly," the New Express reports.

Ma Ke, the film's producer, told the newspaper the heartthrob who is mostly known for his tender image can fit into the western film.

"There could also be good-looking guys among the gangsters," Ma said.

Chen Kun will show a different side in the new film, Ma added, because he will play a "vicious and ruthless role."
