Bollywood babe Mallika Sherawat will star opposite Avatar hunk Laz Alonso in the Hollywood political comedy, Love, Barack, according to Variety. Sherawat will play a volunteer coordinator on Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, who falls in love with her counterpart on John McCain’s campaign, played by Alonso.

Sherawat is appearing in another Hollywood film, Hisss, along with Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan. The movie, directed by Jennifer Lynch, is in post-production.

While working on Hisss last summer, the actress made the rounds in Los Angeles. She was seen hanging out with the likes of Usher and Ozzy Ozbourne, visited Twitter’s L.A. headquarters (she’s one of the most followed Bollywood stars on the social-networking site), was made an honorary citizen by L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and got a milkshake named after her at the famous West Hollywood ice-cream parlor, Millions of Milkshakes.
