Tollywood actress/producer Lakshmi Manchu who has worked in TV series like Las Vegas, Boston Legal etc seems to be excited about her role in her upcoming Hollywood film Basmati Blues, which is directed by Dan Baron.
In fact, Lakshmi started working for the independent Hollywood film Basmati Blues in 2014 itself. She tells us, “It is a cross-cultural musical romantic comedy, which has both Indian and Hollywood actors. I play the principle role of Sita, and my portions were shot in Kerala.” The dusky actress is one who is always choosy about her roles and BB is no different. “Yes, I play a farmer in Basmati Blues, which is something new in my career.” And reportedly, she plays the hero’s sister in the film.
She adds, “Recently, I was in the US and completed my dubbing as well. I am really looking forward to its release announcement as the distribution for the movie is all set.”
Lakshmi shares the screen with international actors like Brie Larson, Donald Sutherland and Scott Bakula. The plot revolves around a scientist who creates a genetically modified strain of rice with her father — and what happens when their boss sends them to India to sell it to farmers. The film was largely shot in Kerala and has a huge Indian connect.
