Soundous Moufakir is exploring South Indian cinema with a project currently being filmed in Hyderabad. The actor has kept its title and production details under wraps, but says the opportunity appealed to her because of the character and the creative challenge it offered.
Speaking to hf, Soundous described the experience as a chance to expand her acting work. Alongside the shoot, she is also developing MoroMaa, her beauty brand inspired by her Moroccan heritage.
A character that takes her beyond familiar territory
Soundous said her decision to accept the project came from curiosity about the role rather than a plan to enter a particular film industry.
She described the character as someone with several emotional dimensions, giving her room to explore different aspects of performance. Further details, she indicated, would be shared by the makers when they were ready.
For now, the interview does not identify the project’s language, director, principal cast or release date. Its Hyderabad shooting location alone should not be treated as confirmation that it is a Telugu film.
Finding her footing on a new set
Entering a different working environment brought some initial nervousness, Soundous acknowledged. However, she credited the team’s welcome with helping her settle into the production and concentrate on her performance.
She spoke positively about the focus and collaborative atmosphere she had encountered on set. Observing how the team worked had also become part of her learning experience.
Soundous made clear that she would consider further opportunities across South Indian cinema. Her interest, she explained, depends on the story, character and filmmaker rather than a geographical boundary.
Hyderabad leaves an impression
Away from filming, Soundous hopes to get to know Hyderabad through its food, people and architecture.
Although her schedule has limited her exploration, she said the city’s food had already become a memorable part of the visit. She also expressed interest in spending time around the Old City when work allows.
Her comments offer a glimpse of an actor adjusting to a new location while balancing the demands of a shoot with the desire to experience the city beyond it.
Acting alongside a growing business
Soundous is also dividing her time between entertainment projects and MoroMaa. She described the beauty venture as a personal connection to her Moroccan background and an opportunity to bring that cultural influence to India.
Her immediate focus appears to be building both parts of her career. While she mentioned other entertainment opportunities, she did not announce additional titles or timelines.
The next significant update on her South cinema project will therefore depend on the makers’ announcement. Until then, her comments establish her involvement and enthusiasm while leaving the production’s key details undisclosed.
