Elnaaz Norouzi, the Iranian actor, who rose to fame with Adeel Chaudhry's film, later worked in Netflix's Sacred Games

In a short span of time, Iranian actor Elnaaz Norouzi has shown her mettle as an actor and garnered a huge name for herself - both in India and Pakistan. The starlet was featured in Maan Jao Naa opposite Ghana Ali and Adeel Chaudhry and later played an important role in Sacred Games alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Saif Ali Khan.

Now, looks like she is all set to star in a big-budgeted Hollywood project starring London Has Fallen famed actor, Gerard Butler. 

“It’s an action film, that’s all I can say right now. We started work on it in January, and it was lovely working with the unit and crew. A lot of explosions were happening on set, it is a big action film,” the 29-year-old shared with Hindustan Times. 

“I have acting friends who have tried their luck too, you are required to audition there. I know the kind of actor I am, and auditions are the trend in Hollywood. I love it. When directors tell me the scene they want me to do, it’s very important. Auditioning is how I got to Tehran and even Kandahar. Whether it’s a guest role or cameo, they still want to see how you look like in the character, no matter how big a star you are in India,” shares Norouzi.

What one cannot miss asking the actor is her experience working with Butler. She got excited and gushed, “All that’s left for us actors is dubbing for the film. I have had the most incredible time on the sets. Gerard is so much fun. He doesn’t behave like a star or have any attitude. He’s all heart and very sweet. He was so interested in knowing how does Bollywood works, how’s everyone in India. He wants to come here soon, and do those spiritual trips. He’s a very cool human being."
