Netflix's 'The Royals' actress Nora Fatehi on stepping into Tamil cinema with 'Kanchana 4': 'When the film was offered to me...'
With experience in Malayalam and Telugu industries too, Nora reflects on the differences she's noticed. 'Every industry has its own flavour. Tamil cinema is very rooted in storytelling.' Nora Fatehi is stepping into Tamil cinema with a bang as she headlines Kanchana 4, the much-awaited fourth installment of the popular horror-comedy franchise. Already riding high on the success of her latest song Oh Mama! Tetema, Nora is embracing this new phase of her career with enthusiasm. Talking to a leading publication, about why she chose Kanchana 4, the actor shares, 'When Kanchana 4 was offered to me, I immediately felt it was the right project to step into Tamil cinema. The franchise already has such a strong legacy, and the script was so unique that I wanted to be part of it. I was looking to be a part of another comedy after the success of Madgaon Express.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Language has been a challenge, but Nora isn't one to shy away from experiments. 'Of course language is always a challenge, but I love challenges, I've had to adapt to Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam before, and now Tamil. It's definitely the hardest so far but I spend extra hours rehearsing my lines and working on the pronunciation,' she explains. What has kept her motivated is the encouragement she's received on set. 'The nicest thing has been the crew telling me they didn't expect me to be so natural in the comic bits. That kind of feedback really keeps me going. And I feel it's about respecting the culture, the language, and giving your best,' says Nora, who has earlier acted in films like Be Happy. With experience in Malayalam and Telugu industries too, Nora reflects on the differences she's noticed. 'Every industry has its own flavour. Tamil cinema is very rooted in storytelling, and there's a lot of emphasis on performance and strong scripts. Bollywood, on the other hand, has its own larger-than-life energy. Both industries are passionate about cinema, but the styles of working, the audience expectations, and even the filmmaking processes feel slightly different. For me, it's exciting to experience and learn from both worlds.'

Set in the coastal village of Marlur near Someshwara, the plot follows Ashoka, a carefree young man whose harmless crush suddenly sparks a wildfire of rumours. Villagers begin to suspect he is possessed by a spirit named Sulochana, and what follows is a cascade of chaos, humour, and superstition that flips the entire community upside down. The film blends slapstick comedy with social commentary, diving into how gossip and belief systems shape people's lives. Backed by Lighter Buddha Films, Su From So features Shaneel Gautham, Sandhya Arakere, Prakash Thuminad, Deepak Rai Panaje, Mime Ramdas, and Raj B. Shetty in pivotal roles.
