Mallika Sherwat is making waves in LA. After bagging a Hollywood project, Jennifer Lynch's Hissss, she is now all set to star in a film based on the US President Barack Obama.

The film by Doug McHenry is a romantic political comedy - Love, Barack. The film tracks the romance between a Democratic campaign volunteer and her Republican counterpart in the run-up to last year's US Presidential election. The film has Mallika's character Aretha Gupta inspired by Kamala Harris, the attorney general of San Francisco.

Sherawat is working hard for that thick American accent for her role in the film, which has an all-American cast.

Mallika writes on Twitter: "Kamala is a great inspiration and to play a part inspired by her is an actress's dream. I will B 'shadowing' Harris to research my new movie. It's an amazing role. I'm working hard at. I'm ready, " adding: " One of the great things about western cinema is the diversity of female roles."

Gary Goldstein, famed for co-producing the Julia Roberts- Richard Gere blockbuster Pretty Woman, has scripted Love, Barack. Bollywood filmmaker Govind Menon is co-producing the film along with Hollywood producer and William Keenan's company Nuclear Mango.

Kamala happens to be the first woman district attorney to be elected in San Francisco and the first African- American elected as district attorney in California. She is also a candidate for the prestigious post of the attorney general of California in 2010.

Love, Barack had hit the floors in Los Angeles on January 13 this year.
