Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi has roped in veteran Malayalam actress Sharada for his next, Beyond The Clouds. The film stars Ishaan Khatter and Malavika Mohanan in the lead. The septuagenarian will be making a comeback after 15 years for the director who she considers to be the “god of cinema.”
According to sources, she will be seen playing a character named Jhumpa. She was also asked to lose weight, which she has taken up as a challenge.
The film has music by AR Rahman and is based on a brother-sister relationship that offshoots into many more interesting situational aspects.
Sharada adds, “I am extremely thrilled and looking forward to working with such a phenomenal team.”
The spokesperson from Zee Studios and Eyecandy Films (one of the co-producers) says, “It was amazing to see such a seasoned actress show such enthusiasm. For someone in her 70s, it’s no mean feat, but she is willing to make it happen.”
