Neetu Chandra to star in a Korean drama

Bollywood actress Neetu Chandra is all set to star in a Korean Taekwondo drama titled Narae.

The actress says she was offered the role by Taekwondo grand master Lee Jeonghee.

“I’m extremely grateful and thank grand master Lee Jeonghee. It is because of his sheer support that I have been able to bag this role in the Korean youth action-drama,” Chandra said in a statement. “They were looking for an Indian actor as part of the drama who also had some kind of training in Taekwondo. Being a trained Taekwondo player, I fit the bill and landed a role,” she further added.

The drama will be shot in Seoul, South Korea and will go on floors early next year. The actress who entered Bollywood in 2005 with Garam Masala has been working in Tamil cinema lately.
