While shooting I had scars and bruises on legs: Roar actress Nora Fatehi
Nora, who is a Moroccan model, is making her Bollywood debut with "Roar" while Subrata has acted in 14 Bengali films already and apart from "Roar" will also been seen in upcoming Hindi films like "Tevar" and "Shaukeen".
Roar: Tigers of The Sundarbans is the story of a young photo journalist named Uday. While on an assignment in the Sundarbans, he rescues a white tiger cub to the settlement he is based in. But when the warden takes the cub away, unknowingly it brings the wrath of the Royal Bengal Tigers onto the whole village.
Nora when asked about her character in the movie, said, "I am playing a commando. My character's name is CJ (Crazy Jenny) which is my call sign. In the movie I am one of the commanders who comes on a mission to kill the tiger who killed Uday."
She then explains her character, "CJ is very aggressive. She is actually the only one in the film with various action sequence.
The stylist of the movie too was present at the promotion.
Sharing her experience, she said, "Styling the character was not really difficult but surely it was challenging. We had to get things ready for our work because there were no tailors, no shops from where we could pick up stuffs and get things made. We could not do anything loud as we also had to suit the style of nature."
Nora added: "CJ also had to suffer. The need of my character was to look hot and accordingly we were styled up with shorts. But that priced me as well. Well, we were shooting in the middle of Sundarbans, in the core territory. So, there was a scene where I had to run across the jungle and the silt was almost all over my leg. I had to run with that. Now when the shot was over, all I was left with were scars and bruises all over my leg."
"The story line is the hunters who got hunted," said the newcomer.
The team of Roar said audiences will fall in love with the national animal with its beautiful portrayal of the tigers at the most authentic origin that is Sundarbans- the land of Royal Bengal Tigers.
Roar: Tigers of The Sundarbans, produced by Abis Rizvi, releases on Oct 31.
