'X Factor' star Chico Slimani is to appear in a new film which will draw on his experiences as a former male stripper.

Screen Daily reports that 'Lunchbox' is described as a raunchy comedy and follows a stripping troupe's European tour.

The film, co-written by Chico and his brother, actor JC Mac, and the movie's director, will begin shooting in Europe in June.

Chico is also serving as co-producer on the film; the 34-year-old recently signed a record deal with BMG.
