British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is working on a movie called The Lesbian, reportedly based on the real-life story of Hong Kong businessman Cecil Chao, who has offered a $40 million reward to any man who would marry his lesbian daughter Gigi.

The "Borat" star has signed a deal with Paramount and will star in the comedy, reports thesun.co.uk.

The actor's last outing was the controversial comedy The Dictator. He is now also working on a James Bond spoof, about a secret agent forced to go on the run with his soccer hooligan brother.
