Bridgerton actor Charithra Chandran to star in Olivia Hetreed drama series Song Of The Sun God

Bridgerton season two actress Charithra Chandran, who portrays Edwina Sharma, has been roped in to lead Olivia Hetreed’s drama series Song of the Sun God. According to Deadline, Hetreed’s adaptation follows the love, lies and misdemeanours of a Sri Lankan family across three generations in the UK, Australia and Sri Lanka. Chandran will play Leela, a young Australian woman living her life in London, largely disconnected from her own culture and unaware of long-held family secrets.

“But an intensely personal and dangerous journey takes her across three continents as she seeks to find her lost aunt and uncover the shocking reason for her disappearance,” the outlet shared. Chandran will both star in and produce the upcoming drama series based on the 2017 novel from author Shankari Chandran.

The drama series will be duel-produced by indie Synchronicity Films and Australia’s Photoplay Films, with author Chandran working as creative consultant on the project. Synchronicity picked up the project as part of its “drive and passion for adapting powerful and important books for the screen,” Mundell (Synchronicity Films) said.

“Shankari Chandran’s novel is a poignant and deeply moving story of the Sri Lankan conflict seen through the prism of one family,” she said. “With its timely and universal themes, we feel the project will resonate with global audiences.” The movie will be financed by Cineflix Rights, who will also have the first option for exclusive worldwide distribution.

No date has been attached for the release of Song of the Sun God.

Nora has always been grateful and humbled by the opportunity Nikkhil Advani and Bhushan Kumar have given her with both 'Dilbar' and 'Saki Saki' and s...

Here's why Housefull 4 actress Pooja Hegde likes dusky skin

Bollywood has often been criticized for its portrayal of dark-skinned characters on screen. Even celebrities who endorse or have endorsed fairness creams have been often called out for promoting such products.

When I go abroad people tell me they love my skin tone and like how it is so golden. When you travel around the world the acceptance level will increase about how you look. Whether it is how much you weigh, because we are so conscious about our body. I go abroad and I see bigger women in bikini, so casual and comfortable being who they are and that's what is acceptable there. Even when you watch them, you will not fee...
