This film is about tactical ex-marines tackleing human body parts syndicate head-on as its black market surges under control of officials entrusted to curb it in South Africa and Bangladesh. It features some of the continent’s acclaimed actors including Mark Elderkin, Abul Hayat, Allan Steward Roger, Patric Garcia, Lebohang Motaung, Fortune Thobejane, Michelle Van Der Nest, as well as Thailand action star Simon Kook.“As they embark on their mission, they encounter unexpected challenges and they must rely on their training and instincts to stay alive. This is a must see film as it defines an intense action, heart-pumping suspense with a gripping storyline and I promise it will be a hit with audiences worldwide,” said Dlamini.
The former Uzalo actor, who also played various characters in different Shakespeare-inspired stage plays while he was residing in the United Kingdom, said from all the productions he has worked on, the Paladin Resurrection cast was the best.
“This production has got people from different backgrounds and experiences, some from South Africa and Bangladesh industry moguls. Working together with these chaps was the best experience of my life because the cast challenged me every day to do my best on the shooting and production stage.
“The main aim of this collaborative effort is to strengthen strong ties with loyal South African partners, bridging the gap between Bangladesh and the world while telling social justice entertaining stories, because issues of human trafficking and body parts selling scandals are also witnessed in other parts of Africa including Zimbabwe,” said Dlamini, a doctor by profession.
The film is in theatres in seven countries which are Bangladesh, South Africa, Thailand, India, France, USA and Swaziland.
