Lakshmi: Basmati Blues Is Not An Anti-Indian Film

Actress Manchu Lakshmi is all set to be seen in the Hollywood film, Basmati Blues. The actress will be sharing screen space with Oscar-winning actor Brie Larson. The actress had made her acting debut with the American television series Las Vegas, where she was seen romancing James Lesure.

Speaking about her role in the film, Lakshmi revealed, “I play a village girl Sita, the sister of the hero's character, Rajit, played by Utkarsh Ambudkar. It's a full-length character. The strange thing is that I'm playing an Indian girl in an Indian village but for Western audiences. So, I had to get the subtleties absolutely right. From the way I walk, tie my hair or the way I wear my clothes... everything had to have the stamp of a village belle”.

Shockingly, after the release of the film’s trailer, it gave a wrong impression to audiences and received hug backlashes. Talking about it the actress said, “Basmati Blues is definitely not an anti-Indian film. On the contrary, it's a pro-Indian film that teaches farmers to fight exploitation by Western corporates and vested interests”. The film is slated to release on February  9^th this year in USA.
