American filmmaker Doug McHenry is directing a film 'Love, Barack' where Mallika Sherawat will play Aretha Gupta, a devoted, local Obama volunteer coordinator. The film seems to be a romantic and political roller-coaster. It shows that 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.
"Love, Barack" also stars veteran actress Ruby Dee, comic actor Gerry Bednob and film and television actress Loretta Devine.
"Laz Alonso is a talented and exciting actor. I'm very lucky to be working with him," said Mallika in a statement.
