MUMBAI: Monica Bellucci, who is known for her films like The Sorcerer‘s Apprentice, is set to star in a new political film called Rhinos Season. The film directed by Iranian director Bahman Ghobadi is the follow-up to No One Knows About Persian Cats.

Belluci described the film, set before and after the revolution in Iran, as a ‘political film‘. But she added that it is primarily "a great love story in which I will play an Iranian woman."

Rhinos Season is set to start shooting in Turkey in March.
