Sherawat, who plays the the character of Aretha Gupta, a devoted local Obama volunteer coordinator, said in a statement, “Laz Alonso is a talented and exciting actor. I’m very lucky to be working with him.”

American filmmaker Doug McHenry is directing the film, which will show Democrat Aretha unexpectedly falling for her Republican counterpart (Alonso), working for the local McCain office a month before election day.

The film also stars veteran actress Ruby Dee, comic actor Gerry Bednob and film and television actress Loretta Devine.
