Actress Anushka Sen will represent India on the international stage with the Korea-India co-production ‘Jeju Olle’, which has been officially selected for the 27th Newport Beach Film Festival (NBFF) in the US. The film, co-starring Korean actor Kang Hyung-seok, will have its North American premiere on 21 October at 7:30 pm at Screen 1 of Regal Edwards Big Newport, the festival’s largest auditorium. The selection is under NBFF’s Korean Spotlight programme. Written and directed by Jin Kwang-Kyo, the film follows Alisha, an Indian star who retreats after losing her cousin and manager. She travels to Jeju Island to honour a promise and meets Ha Sun-woo, a former K-pop idol. Shot in Korean, Hindi and English, the film blends Korean romance with Indian musical elements. Sen said representing India globally has always been a dream and she is grateful for the opportunity. The film is produced by Storyworks Co., Ltd. and Lucifer Production.
