It's another pretty woman for Richard Gere.

Bollywood star and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen will co-star with Gere in a new movie titled ``The Expat,'' the actress said.

``I have already signed (up for) the film. And yes, Richard Gere plays the male lead,'' Sen said in an interview on Thursday.

The film, to be shot in Argentina, is a Miramax production and will be directed by U.S.-based Sutapa Ghosh, she said.

``I am looking forward to working with Sutapa and Richard,'' said Sen, adding that she'll play the title role of a foreigner living abroad.

She did not say when shooting is set to start.

Sen, 30, was crowned Miss India in 1994, and went on to win the Miss Universe pageant. She has since acted in more than 25 films in Bollywood, India's prolific and popular Hindi-language film industry.
