After making us fall in love with her with films like Bin Roye and Janaan, Armeena Khan is all set to blow us away with a British project this time, yes you have heard it right you will be seeing her in a completely new avatar. Armeena rose to fame with a supporting role in the critically and commercially successful film Bin Roye in 2015 which was followed with a leading role in the romance Janaan in 2016, both of which earned her wide recognition and praise.With Yalghar in the pipeline and now this, this girl is going places.
Armeena is all set to try new genres, Sci-fi is her cup of tea this time. The film titled ‘The Achilles Protocol’ is a short film which is about a conflict between super hacker and an artificial intelligence gone rogue, with several nuclear warheads in the sky, the hacker has minutes to shut down the rogue and disable the warheads. The film is all set to release in 2017 starring, Armeena Rana Khan, Christopher Faith(previously known from Sophie’s fortune fame which was also a short film from britain), Mark Hill(known for the icehouse project) and Grace Riley. TAP is being directed by Aatif Zafar, who has years of experience in acting, filmmaking and production. This is Armeena’s second venture in Britain after the movie ‘Writhe’ . Writhe was directed by Sharaz Ali and the film was screened at the 2013 Cannes Film festival. In fact she was the first Pakistani actress to walk at Cannes.
Armeena was approached by the producers Rebecca and Atif Zafar (who is also the director), to undertake the leading role of ISIS the A.I gone rogue who wants to destroy the world. Armeena will be playing the main female antagonist. The film is made of international film festival circuit and then it’ll have a limited release after.
While talking to us about her role in the film Armeena said,” The role was extremely challenging I didn’t just have to play an intelligent machine but an A.I with real emotions and feelings. The balance had to be right and we spent months on fine tuning the character. It is very different to anything that I’ve done before”.
The shooting of the film is complete and the film is in post production. It is a complete british film with known british actors. The team is skilled and capable as the film is extremely technical.
We wish Armeena and team all the best for this venture.
