According to Korean media, Tran Thanh will appear in Godumakhan's large-scale historical film "Kal, Sword", replacing a role previously invited for veteran actor Cha Seung Won.
Accordingly, Cha Seung Won decided to withdraw from the project due to changes in production plans. The film was originally scheduled to start filming in August last year but was postponed to this year, leading to the actor not being able to continue arranging his schedule.
The role that Cha Seung Won once considered to play is said to be replaced by Tran Thanh, opening a surprising turning point for the career of Vietnamese artists in the international film market.
Previously, Godumakhan's "Kal, Sword" project attracted great attention when information appeared gathering many famous Korean stars. In which, Park Bo Gum is considered a sure name to participate. Besides, Joo Won is also said to have accepted the invitation and is currently in the process of active consideration.
The appearance of a Vietnamese artist in the highly rated cast of this project makes the film even more anticipated.
Kal, Sword" by Godumakhan is a new work directed by Kim Han Min - the director behind a series of hit historical films such as "Myeongnyang Ship War" or "Noryang: Dead Sea". With a grand, epic filmmaking style, the project is expected to continue to make a strong impression when released.
Previously, Tran Thanh had never shared or hinted at anything related to participating in this movie. That silence made Vietnamese audiences even more surprised and excited.
On social networking forums, many comments expressed surprise at Tran Thanh's ability to "go abroad", considering this a notable milestone in his artistic journey.
