Movie star?

In the guides to India they indicate that Mumbai is the place of Bollywood and westerners are wanted for their movies. Yet, I became actor in a movie somewhere else. That happened on one of the weekends in Chennai where I was asked whether I’d like to play in a Tamil movie… Well – I did like to try this new experience and enjoyed it on a Sunday morning. The plot was simple, a weird love story and my role was fixed to be a clerk at the American embassy dealing with the visa application of the one who fell in love, talking to the main officer about the case. That was fun and interesting to see how they put a professional looking scene onto the film roll out of a makeshift setting that in reality does not evoke resemblance to an embassy. In the role of the embassy guy there was precisely one sentence to say, besides some mimics and gestures to perform. However, I continuously doubt that my English accent would really make up a good American embassy employee.
