Tenney to topline Brooks' India film

Brooks pic will start shooting in India later this month

Jon Tenney ("You Can Count on Me") has been cast as one of the two male leads opposite Albert Brooks in his as-yet-untitled film for Steve Bing's Shangri-La Entertainment.

The comedy, which was written and will be directed by Brooks, will start shooting in India later this month.

Tenney plays an ambitious government employee who is a player and ladies' man.

Brooks is considering dubbing the English-lingo pic into Hindi for local auds.

Tenney most recently finished shooting a series regular role as Kyra Sedgwick's love interest in the TNT pilot "The Closer."

Pic is being produced by Herb Nanas and will be distributed domestically by Warner Bros.
