While cine-goers are still raving in regards to the latest foreign import Maryam Zakaria, who set the screens ablaze within the recent Agent Vinod, there's another international hottie gearing as much as woo the nation.
International model Era Tsariova, who has taken the Russian modelling industry by storm, is making her method to Bollywood with Goyal & PY Films' Cigarette Ki Tarah directed by Akashaditya Lama.
Hailing from St Petersburg, Era has no qualms in declaring that she barely knows the Indian film industry and her foray in Cigarette Ki Tarah was purely luck by accident. "I USED TO BE in Goa, partying with my friends when the co-producer of the film Rana Bhatia saw me and offered me a task within the film.
I met him later and he gave me a narration of my character. It was really exciting to be acting in an industry I USED TO BE completely new to, I thank singer Suzanne who has sung this song for me for which Sudeep Banerjee has composed fantastic music at the lyrics penned by Kaushal Kishor. I'M sure I'VE got the most efficient moves to groove the nation in this number stuffed with slaves of Satan" says Era.
It is learnt that Era's part was to be played by Claudia Ciesla of the Bigg Boss fame. Confirming the reports, Rana Bhatia said, "Yes, we had first approached Claudia to play the a part of Yuvika Chaudhary's firang friend. However, because of her unprofessional behaviour we needed to replace her.
We had also considered Bruna Abdullah for the role but little did we all know we'd find Era, a renowned model and the face of a few leading brands in Russia who could play her part so convincingly within the film."
In a brief span, the model-turned-actress seems to have already found a fan within the lead actor of the film Bhoop Yadhuvanshi, "Era is natural in acting and likewise happens to be an ideal dancer.
She may be doing the specially sung title song within the film and i'm really impressed with how her work has shaped up, " says Bhoop. Well, there surely is a brand new 'Era' ushering in Bollywood!
