Mallika Sherawat has been cast opposite Avatar co-star Laz Alonso in the feature Love, Barack, a political romantic comedy set during the frantic and intoxicating days leading up to 2008 U.S. Presidential election.

Mallika will play the female lead and central character Aretha Gupta, a devoted, local Obama volunteer coordinator. The story, a snapshot of a moment in time that was filled with hope, change, and passionate debate, follows the romantic and political rollercoaster that develops when, the month before Election Day, Democrat Aretha unexpectedly falls for her Republican counterpart (Alonso), a handsome, dynamic African-American working for the local McCain office.

On signing up for the film, Mallika said, “Laz Alonso is a talented and exciting actor. I’m very lucky to be working with him.”

To be directed by Doug McHenry, the film will also feature acclaimed actress Ruby Dee (Best Supporting Actress Oscar Nominee for 2007’s American Gangster) and comedy veteran Gerry Bednob and Loretta Devine.

With her forthcoming Hollywood project ‘Hisss’ on its way to completion, the bosom beauty Mallika Sherawat is more seen in Hollywood these days than in Bollywood. Be it the premieres or the red carpet, twitter headquarters or private parties, she seems to be everywhere brushing shoulders with who’s who of Hollywood.

Recently she was seen in a titsy bitsy revealing black dress at the premiere of Brad Pitt starrer ‘Inglourious Basterds’ in LA. There she also seemed to have bumped into director Quentin Tarantino on the red carpet as she has since put up pictures of her meeting with Tarantino on her Twitter profile. On the day of the premiere, she had posted this on Twitter, “What should I wear to the Tarantino premiere tonight? Would something scandalous be appropriate?” On the way to the event, she posted, “Hanging out in the limo on the way to the Inglourious Basterds premiere.”

Seems the beauty is enjoying all the attention she is getting. Check out her skimpy dress and the joyous glow on her face in the pics from the

In 1894 a Russian doctor, Nicholas Notovitch, published a book called The Unknown Life of Christ, in which he claimed that while recovering from a broken leg in a Tibetan monastery in the Ladakh region, close to Kashmir, he had been shown evidence of Christ’s Indian wanderings. The book traces the years in Christ’s life from the age of 13 to 30, of which there is no record in history.

Now, an Australian filmmaker Drew Heriot’s is coming up with his film named ‘The Aquarian Gospel’ based on this book and believe it or not, Mallika Sherawat is going to be a part of this film. Yup you heard it right, however sacrilegious it may sound to some but the feisty Jat girl will be seen in the film playing Saraswati, a loyal friend of Christ, when he travels through India.

The film’s producers say the movie will be shot using actors and computer animation like 300, the retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae, and will follow the travels of Jesus. Casting for other suitable Bollywood and Hollywood actors has begun.

“We think that Indian religions and Buddhism, especially with the idea of meditation, played a big part in Christ’s thinking. In the film we are looking beyond the canonised gospels to the ‘lost’ gospels,” said William Sees Keenan, the producer, who is currently making Lindsay Lohan’s Poor Things.
