Hollywood beauty Sarah Thompson Kane (Cruel Intentions 2), 30, is reportedly heading to Bollywood to act as hero Ranbir Kapoor’s (Wake Up Sid) American girlfriend in the blockbuster drama “Raajneeti” (Prakash Jha).

According to reports, Sarah’s character follows Kapoor from USA to India after he deserts her for political aspirations. Releasing on May 28 next, its cast, besides Sarah and Kapoor, also includes Katrina Kaif (Singh is Kinng), National Award winner Ajay Devgan (The Legend of Bhagat Singh), Filmfare winner Arjun Rampal (Rock On!!), Filmfare winner Vivek Oberoi (Company), Filmfare winner Nana Patekar (Apaharan). Jha also wrote the story of “Raajneeti”, which translates as “Politics” Said to be influenced by ancient Hindu epic Mahabharat, the film delves into electoral politics of India.

Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed has welcomed the new trend of Hollywood stars going to Bollywood and hopes that Hollywood-Bollywood “engagement” will bring West and East closer. In a statement in Nevada (USA) today, Zed, who is the chairperson of Indo-American Leadership Confederation, said that India had a rich literary heritage and, if looked deeply, could provide lot of themes of international appeal to Hollywood.
