Neha Dhupia Roped In For An American TV Show ‘Bollywood Hero’

Bollywood babe Neha Dhupia will be seen in an under development American TV series titled ‘Bollywood Hero’, which is a three part comedy mini series.

The tag line of the comedy by Independent Film Channel (IFC) is ‘Chris Kattan goes to India to become a Bollywood star’.

Neha will play the role of a Bollywood actress Alima Lakhani opposite American actor comedian Chris Kattan known best for Saturday Night Live.

The actress said, “It revolves around the main protagonist Chris Kattan who wants to become a Bollywood hero and I play a Bollywood actress, opposite him.”

When asked why she had settled for a TV series in place of a Hollywood movie, Dhupia answered, “"Well purely because TV is treated as big as a movie there and after I saw how TV is in India and abroad, I realized there is vast difference between the two. It's going to be treated as big as a movie."

Neha is thrilled with her breakthrough and narrates how she got the project.

"I did three auditions for them and they were like if you won't play a Bollywood actress, who would?" she said.

According to rumors, Neha’s good friend Tabrez Noorani, the on-line producer of Slumdog Millionaire, got the actress the international project.

But, Neha dismissed rumours and said, “I was a part of the project even before Slumdog... became a hit.”
