Rajeev Manoj Virani's cross-cultural romance
My Bollywood Bride follows the love affair that unexpectedly blossoms between a hunky, fair-haired American novelist named
Alex (
Jason Lewis) and an ebullient Indian tour guide named
Reena (
Kashmera Shah). The two fall in love in Los Angeles, but are then forcibly separated by circumstance, as
Reena must return to Asia to tend to her seriously ill father and enter an arranged marriage with a cocky, egomaniacal producer named
Shekhar (
Gulshan Grover). Failing to understand (or accept) these circumstances,
Alex then flies to India, heart-in-tow, determined to win
Reena back - and immediately runs head-first into madcap conflicts with both
Shekhar and
Reena's parents.
Sanjay Suri co-stars as
Reena's Indian pal
Bobby, who makes a series of unsuccessful attempts to keep
Alex out of trouble as the American vies for
Reena's heart.
Shah,
Brad Listermann and
Richard Martini co-authored the script.
