The immensely talented and supremely beautiful Shahana Goswami, who is rarely in the limelight, recently opened up about the working style in Hollywood, as compared to that in good old Bollywood.

Shooting in Kerala off-late, for an Indo-Canadian project, Force of Destiny, which will see Shahana play the role of a marine biologist interning in Australia. And it certainly was destiny which brought her this role, as she confessed:

“Paul Cox (who has written the book which the film is based on) spotted me while Midnight’s Children premiered in Kerala and that is how I got to be part of his next project. My stepdad, Sanal, is also a Malayali. However, Kerala is very new to me and most of our scenes were shot indoors. I felt that the place has a sense of serenity and calmness, which I really appreciate.”

Shahana has, of course, been part of International films, aside from her award-winning role in her debut film Rock On! Shahana highlighted the cultural and work-ethic differences she encountered while working with an International crew.

“One crucial difference is that they work with smaller crews. There is also a better sense of equality, which I really like; they treat each person in the unit on par with each other. I admire their working style also because there is a better understanding of the fact that the film is a team work and is not resting on one person alone.”

When quizzed about her upcoming films, Shahana said, “There is a Bhutanese film called Vara: A Blessing by Khyentse Norbu, which I had recently done. I am taking part in different film festivals with that movie. There is also a Bangladeshi film called Under Construction coming up.”

Well, we certainly hope that post her slew of International films, the gorgeous Shahana is able to bag some Bollywood projects too.
