British actress of Indian origin, Archie Panjabi, best known for her role in “The Good Wife”, has been cast in the upcoming disaster movie “San Andreas”.
 
The action thriller, slated for a 2015 release, is to be directed by Brad Peyton and will see Panjabi playing a reporter.
 
Panjabi made her film debut in the hit British film “East Is East” in 1999 and went on to star in international blockbusters like “Bend It Like Beckham” in 2002.
 
In 2010, she bagged the Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role in “The Good Wife” at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards in London.

Directed by Brad Peyton, “San Andreas” stars Dwayne Johnson in the lead role as a man who must rescue his daughter when the ground in California starts shaking.
