There has been a lot of speculation around the leading lady of the most anticipated film of the year, Iranian film maker Majid Majidi's next - Beyond The Clouds - an international film set in India.
And finally, it's time to put all the rumors to rest. So here goes - the female protagonist of Mr. Majidi's tale of human relationships is Malavika Mohanan, daughter of renowned cinematographer K.U Mohanan and a well-rounded theater artist.
Produced by Zee Studios and Eyecandy Films, Beyond The Clouds is a beautiful story centered around a brother sister relationship.
