South Indian actress Shriya Saran has impressed the director of her first English film, ‘The Other End of the Line’.
The movie, directed by American filmmaker James Dodson, tells the story of an unlikely romance that happens between an Indian girl working in a call centre and her American client in San Francisco. Shriya plays the Indian girl pretending to be a credit-card telesales executive in San Francisco. She enters into a long chat with a prospective client and changes the young man’s life in far away America.
Shot in Mumbai and San Francisco, the film pairs ‘Desperate Housewives’ star Jesse Metcalfe with Shriya Saran.
Director Dodson is happy that he cast Shriya in the lead role in the film.
"Shriya was just a dream. She is gracious. She is beautiful. The way she acted in the film...she is really an accomplished actor, a person very well grounded in her profession," Dodson told a news agency.
This film is the first project as a result of a five-year co-production deal between producer Ashok Amritraj’s US-based Hyde Park Entertainment and India’s Reliance ADAG-promoted Adlabs Films.
