Priyanka Mohan Opens Up About Korean Film Shoot Challenges
Actress Priyanka Mohan, who stars in the upcoming film 'Made in Korea,' recently shared her experiences from the 40-day shoot in South Korea. In an exclusive interview, she revealed that food and weather posed significant challenges during production.
Food Becomes Major Hurdle for Vegetarian Actress
While speaking about her time in Korea, Priyanka Mohan emphasized that food was one of her biggest problems. "Food was quite a problem for me because they put red meat in most dishes," she explained. The actress, who identifies as mostly vegetarian but occasionally eats chicken, found Korean cuisine difficult to navigate due to its heavy reliance on meat ingredients.
Unpredictable Weather Disrupts Shooting Schedule
Beyond dietary challenges, Priyanka Mohan described the Korean weather as another major obstacle. "You could have the sun shining in the morning, and it would be raining by afternoon and snowing by night," she said. These rapid and dramatic climate changes created scheduling difficulties for the film crew, making the shooting process more complex than anticipated.
Positive Experience with Korean Co-Stars Despite Challenges
Despite these hurdles, Priyanka Mohan expressed genuine enthusiasm for her first international collaboration. She praised her Korean colleagues, noting their professionalism and kindness. "This was my first ever international collaboration, and the Korean artists are all very, very down to earth," she shared. The actress particularly highlighted the Korean rehearsal process, where actors prepare extensively before takes, contrasting with some Indian industry practices.
Priyanka Mohan developed strong bonds with the cast and crew during the shoot. "I bonded so well with all of them that I had withdrawal symptoms after I completed shooting for the film and returned home," she revealed, indicating the depth of her connection with the team.
