From Balloch to Bollywood
Swapping tears for tiaras, Lorna Anderson's escaping her River City role as troubled Amber Murdoch for a most intriguing film part.
The actress is making her big-screen debut in a Bollywood film called Mausam, which is currently filming in Edinburgh. You can read all about it in The Scottish Sun.
The filming of Mausam has been causing a stir in Edinburgh as it features Indian megastars Sonam Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor.
Mausam is the directorial debut of Indian film veteran Pankaj Kapoor, and it's about the love between a girl and a boy, played by Pankaj's son Shahid. Part of the story is set in Scotland, and Lorna's landed the role of the main character's British best friend. We caught up with Lorna to find out more about her latest job.
Lorna tells us that several scenes are set in a Viennese ball and the actual waltz was extremely challenging. She gets to wear a stunning Viennese ball gown - which is a far cry from the urban chic usually sported by Amber. Filming will continue on Mausam until the end of July.
