Some 21st-century "Mississippi Marsala"-type movie is in the pipeline, which will feature a lead character who is a black conservative Republican. He even looks sexy and sane. Real Bollywood writes: "Bollywood’s hot actress Mallika Sherawat, who has been a known name in Hollywood by this time, has signed her third Hollywood film titled Politics of Love [also known as 'Love, Barack' in India]. The film stars African-American actor Brian White, who is also a dancer, lacrosse player, stock broker, football player, and youth activist. The film is based on the 2008 US Presidential election, which was a historical moment as Obama became the first African-American president of the country. Politics of Love deals with a romance between an idealistic, Obama-worshipping Democrat, played by Mallika and a black Republican, essayed by Brian White. The movie will come up with a tagline - ‘Politics has never been this sexy’. The movie also stars Loretta Devine, Ruby Dee, Tracey Walter, Gerry Bednob, Gabrielle Dennis, and Ian Reed Kesler. William Dear will be directing the movie and Gary Goldstein has written it."
According to India Journal, Ms. Sherawat says she chose the film because “the script was excellent”, she “wanted to do an American-style romantic comedy that broke boundaries”, and “because of all the talented people who were working on the film”. She also thought it was “great, that an American movie never had a male lead role as a black Republican before.”
