    Nimrat Kaur to be seen in popular American TV series ‘Homeland’

    NEW DELHI: Nimrat Kaur, who was noticed for her quiet but powerful role in the internationally acclaimed film ‘The Lunchbox’ last year, has been chosen to act in American TV series ‘Homeland’.

     

    “Pretty fun for someone who watched the pilot after the screen test! Season 4 HOMELAND it is,” tweeted Kaur.

     

    ‘Mad Men’ star Mark Moses and Art Malik will also appear in the series. Moses and Kaur have joined the series for several episodes.

     

    Malik will appear in at least one episode, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

     

    Kaur will be seen as a high-level operative within Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, while Moses’ character Dennis is described as an academic teaching political science at Islamabad’s Quaid-I-Azam University.

     

    Malik, best known for playing the villain in 1994 action-thriller ‘True Lies’, is playing an old friend of Saul’s retired Pakistani general Bunran ‘Bunny’ Latif.

     

    ‘Homeland’ is currently shooting its fourth season in South Africa, where Cape Town is doubling for Islamabad.

     

    Produced by Fox 21, the series’ main cast includes Claire Danes and Damian Lewis, among others. ‘Homeland’ returns on 5 October.

    NEW DELHI: Actor Suraj Sharma, who made an impact worldwide with ‘The Life of Pi’, has joined season four of the hit show series ‘Homeland’ which will be aired on Star World Premiere, along with its broadcast in America.

     

    Apart from Sharma, the fourth season of the drama series has two new cast members – Laila Robins (Bored To Death, In Treatment) and Golden Globe® nominee Corey Stoll (House of Cards).

     

    Corey Stoll will play the CIA chief of station in Pakistan and Laila Robins as the American Ambassador to Pakistan.

     

    ”I miss Danesy! I miss her! They’ll be starting up again now,” said the British actor, Damian Lewis and revealed how much he misses his Homeland co-star Claire Danes. The cast of the hit Emmy award winning show is currently in Cape Town.

     

    He also revealed that he almost did not join the show as Nicholas Brody. “I was very reluctant to do to another TV show. In fact, this was sent to me by my American agent. He just said, ‘Just read this one,’” Lewis recalls. His agent told him: “Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa are involved, they ran ’24’ for the last five or six seasons. Claire Danes is doing it, Mandy Patinkin is on board. This is the one that everyone’s talking about. Just read it.

     

    “I very nearly did not do it, for personal reasons,” Lewis admited. “But there were just too many compelling reasons to do it, so I did and I’m extremely happy.”

    MUMBAI: Damian Lewis, who has won Golden Globes and Emmys for his work as POW-turned-terrorist Nicolas Brody in Showtime’s Homeland, is near a deal to star opposite Nicole Kidman in director Werner Herzog’s Queen Of The Desert. The UK-born Lewis won’t have to hide his homegrown accent for the feature: He will play Lt. Col. Charles Doughty-Wylie, an unhappily married English war hero who engages in a turbulent affair with Gertrude Bell (Kidman), with whom he exchanged love letters with from 1913-1915 until he was killed in active duty at Gallipoli. Production is scheduled to begin in December.

     

    Queen Of The Desert refers to Bell, the iconic explorer, writer, archeologist and attaché for the British Empire who is credited with helping to catalyse the formation of the Middle East at the dawn of the 20th century. Nick Raslan is producing through his Palmyra Films banner along with Cassian Elwes and Michael Benaroya. Benaroya Pictures banner is financing the film.
