The comedy by Independent Film Channel (IFC) has the tag line - Chris Kattan goes to India to become a Bollywood star.
"It revolves around the main protagonist Chris Kattan who wants to become a Bollywood hero and I play a Bollywood actress, opposite him," Dhupia told CNN-IBN.
Asked why she had settled for a TV series instead of a Hollywood film Dhupia said:
"Well purely because TV is treated as big as a movie there and after I saw how TV is in India and abroad, I realized there is vast difference between the two. It's going to be treated as big as a movie."
Dhupia is excited with her breakthrough and recounts how she landed the project.
"I did three auditions for them and they were like if you won't play a Bollywood actress, who would?" she says.
