23 Nov – Actress Raja Ilya recently revealed her bitter experience of being cheated by a Tamil production while attempting to break through in the movie market in Tamil Nadu, India.

"I received an offer to portray a police officer in a Tamil movie. They [the production] told me there were a few scenes involving me and Tamil movie star, Rajinikanth.

"Suddenly, they asked me to help them find 20 more actors to play the other characters. When I asked for a fee, they got enraged, causing a rift between us after that," said the actress to Kosmo!

The "Appalam" actress added that the Tamil production did not respect Malaysian actors and often gave poor treatment, different to how the local industry works.

Raja Ilya also shared she is now in preparation for an Indian production called "Dari KL ke Bollywood" (translates to "From KL to Bollywood"), which will begin filming sometime next year.

In the movie, the actress will pair up with local star Shaheizy Sam, and there will also be a special appearance by Bollywood star, Kajol.
