Kandasanys: The Baby is the sequel to two previous films about the adventures of a South African family of Indian origin. Popular on Netflix, the film saw the participation of Poonam Jheelan and Edeen Bhugeloo. Our two compatriots played important roles in the film: “At the beginning of the year, I was contacted by a casting agency. I went well prepared and two weeks later I was told that I’d been chosen to play the role of Mootoo in the film. It was a great experience, especially as Poonam and I were invited to the premiere of the film in South Africa,” explains Edeen.
For the actor, who began his career in 2012, Kandasamys: The Baby once again confirms his potential: “Since my debut, I’ve continued to improve. That’s why I’m often cast in international films like Matthew McConaughey. It’s a good omen for the rest of my career.”
In the years to come, Edeen could well see herself in a blockbuster: “It’s entirely possible. In any case, I’m working on it and there’s also a luck factor. However, when we talk about blockbusters, we usually refer to foreign productions. But, a local production can just as easily be a hit.”
