Indian actress Lara Dutta to star in her first comic Bollywood flick

Former beauty queen Lara Dutta is trying her hand at comedy for the first time since beginning her Bollywood career three years ago.
Dutta told the Hindustan Times newspaper it was a great learning experience to work with well-known actors such as Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Govinda, who uses only a single name, in the new movie "Bhaagam Bhaag," or "Running Around."
"When else am I going to get a chance to be surrounded by so many talented comic actors?" she was quoted as saying.
The movie also has a mystery woven into the plot, Dutta reportedly said, adding she was at the center of all the action. "Everybody is chasing me," she said. "I hold the key to a mystery. It's a mad film with a whole lot of crazy characters."
Dutta has acted in 15 Bollywood movies.
