He stepped on to the screen for the first time as the Mumbai mafia man and elder brother of Priyanka Chopra in ‘Kaminey’. Now scriptwriter-director Amole Gupte will yet again don the grease paint as a baddie.

Gupte will feature next as a UP gangster in 'With Love to Obama' which is written and directed by Subhash Kapoor. Produced by Ashok Pandey, the film includes Rajat Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Manu Rishi Chadha and Sanjay Mishra.

Talking about his character, Amole revealed that the film is a first-of-its-kind comedy and a satire on recession where he plays a politician-cum-gang lord whose business is unaffected by recession.

The story reported to reflect how the recession affected not only the top corporate houses in metro cities but also gangsters in UP.
