Mallika Sherawat, above, the actress known in some circles as Bollywoodâs Bardot, has been cast as an ascetic who befriends Jesus of Nazareth in âThe Aquarian Gospel,â a Hollywood film based on the legend that Jesus visited India, Reuters reported. The $15 million film, directed by Drew Heriot, deals with the life of Jesus between the ages of 13 and 30, a period not documented in the Gospels, when some believe he journeyed through India, Tibet and Persia. In a statement released by her press agent, Ms. Sherawat, whose 17 kissing scenes in her Bollywood debut, âKhwahish,â created a stir, said: âI find that in most mythological and spiritual film stories, women seem to be lacking any true wisdom or a sense of humor. I look forward to bringing both of those qualities to this character.â.
