Lakshmi Manchu, who is an established entity in Indian (Southern) film industry, has moved a step forward in her career grabbing a ticket to Hollywood once again. This is the second time Lakshmi is working in a Hollywood project, titled Basmati Blues, and she has just completed dubbing for the film.

The actress revealed, "You know, I even danced for a Bollywood number with Scott Bakula in this film. That was so much fun.”

The actress had a great time filming Basmati Blues with the American crew as she said, "It feels great to be working with an American crew after a long time. I love the enthusiasm that they have about making a film. It's not just a mere job for them. We shot for this film in Mumbai, Kerala and the US, and I'm looking forward to the film's release later this year.” The television host-turned-actress added further, "We shot the film in some breathtaking locales in the interiors of Kerala and I didn't even know such places existed." Apart from this English project, Lakshmi is also looking towards her upcoming Telugu project, Chandamama Kathalu, which is featuring her as an ex-model.
