Mallika Sherawat is all set to go westwards again. The actress has bagged her second Hollywood assignment after Jackie Chan's The Myth This time, Mallika has bagged the Aquarian Gospel, the epic story about Jesus Christ's missing years.

The film chronicles Jesus Christ's journey from Israel as boy of 13, through India, Tibet, Persia, Greece and Egypt. It describes how Jesus as a young man of 30, encountered people of all creeds, classes and faiths and also the world's greatest saints and sages before becoming a prophet. Mallika plays the role of Saraswati, a celibate yogini, who Jesus bonds with on his journey through India. Since a large part of the film is set in India, the director and the producers decided to begin casting from the East and are excited to have Malllika as part of the project.

The film is being directed by Australian director Drew Heriot (The Secret). The actress is excited at having landed a plum role in this Hollywood production. She is already in love with her character and feels that it will be a great challenge to bring the Saraswati to life. She says that in most mythological and spiritual films, women seem to be lacking any true wisdom or a sense of humour. She says that she is looking forward to bringing both of these qualities to this character.
