Anushka Sen, widely recognized for her role in “Dil Dosti Dilemma,” enjoys a massive social media following, thanks to her success in various TV shows. Now, she is set to expand her horizons by taking on the role of an assassin in the upcoming international film “Asia.”

It’s a K-film, and I’m really excited to be a part of it. We have shot the first schedule and we are now waiting for the second. I’m playing an assassin for the very first time.”
Sen also revealed her admiration for Korean cinema, particularly the comfort she found in K-dramas during the COVID-19 pandemic. She noted the similarities between Indian and Korean cinema, especially in how both industries depict romance and family dynamics. “During COVID times when I would watch K-dramas they would make me feel wholesome. And at that time, I would be just manifesting that Korea is in Asia and it will be so nice if we can collaborate with them… the way they’re producing content, it’s amazing and so inspiring. And in Indian cinema the way we show romance and family, there are a lot of similarities between Indian cinema and Korean cinema,” she said.
