Nora Fatehi is currently flying high. The latest track of the song Oh Mama! Tetema has impressed everyone, and it has now set the stage for her entry into Tamil films through Kanchana 4, the fourth installment of that successful horror-comedy popular franchise-and in doing so marks a milestone in her acting career journey.
“I’m Really Loving New Opportunities,” Nora said. “‘When Kanchana 4 came to me, I thought, ‘Okay, this is what I want to do in Tamil cinema. The franchise has a strong legacy; the script was new and fun, and I would like to be a part of it,’ which is what I was looking for after Madgaon Express; I wanted another comedy.”
Seeing Beyond Language Barriers
