Wednesday, March 12th, 2008
Battlestar Galactica fans are about to become more familiar with Rekha Sharma, whose role as presidential aide Tory Foster will be more important in Season Four. The revelation that Tory is a sleeper Cylon has huge ramifications for the character, the President, and the show.
Now comes news that larger audiences will have a chance to become more familiar with Rekha as well, as she is currently filming the Jennifer Aniston drama Traveling. The film comes from the writing and directing team of Brandon Camp and Mike Thompson, who most recently created the show John Doe and previously did the film drama Dragonfly.
According to reports, Jennifer plays a hotel employee in Seattle who becomes romantically involved with a self-help guru who can’t seem to help himself:
“A romantic drama about a widower (Aaron Eckhart) whose book about coping with loss turns him into a best-selling self-help guru. On a business trip to Seattle, he falls for a woman (Jennifer Aniston) who attends one of his seminars, only to learn that he hasn’t yet truly confronted his wife’s passing.”
Rekha’s role in the film is simply listed as “Nose Ring,” indicating that she may be one of the characters at the self-help seminars that feature prominently in the film.
Battlestar Galactica cast member Alessandro Juliani, who plays Felix Gaeta, is also in the film as a character named “Tattoos.”
The production is supposedly filming in Vancouver, home to the production of Battlestar Galactica. It has gotten extra publicity from the rumors that Aniston, always a tabloid staple, has dated cast and crew members during her time in Canada.
