Koena’s foreign affair
Koena Mitra may have been missing in action on the silver screen but the actress has landed not one, but three international projects in her kitty. While one is a film opposite Miles O Keeffe being produced by Karen Armstrong, the other is Ash Gupta’s debut directorial venture with Kevin Sorbo. The third film is yet to go on the floor.
Speaking about her projects, the dusky beauty says “I have not been missing in action. I have finished a film with Miles O Keefe and will start shooting for Story of Naomi, my next venture with Kevin Sorbo. It is packed with romance, love and betrayal.”
Koena gushed that she is in a happy place right now. “I am very thrilled about playing the solo female lead in three international projects,” she says. The pressure is tremendous in Hollywood, she says, “In Hollywood, one needs to be talented besides having good looks unlike here where more often than not, you are only expected to look good. I had to go through many screen tests before being approved for the roles.”
Even though she is thrilled about the international exposure, Koena is dissapointed with the reaction that she has got from her own countrymen. “A lot of television channels and the media have made fun of me and other actors who work in Hollywood. When I see the reaction on Twitter here, I feel sad that people in my own country are always trying to pull each other down,” she says.
