South African actress, Zazi Kunene will soon take the centre stage with her starring role on a new local film, Pheletso which will soon premiere on Showmax.
Zazi, who is renowned for characters she portrayed in Smoke and Mirrors, Generations: The Legacy and Jiva, will portray the character of Nolwazi Bhengu; a resilient young woman from Soweto, who navigates family drama, a secret relationship, and the pressures of being the household’s breadwinner.
Directed by first-time director Zack Mthombeni, this riveting film that promises to keep Mzansi glued on their screens, tells the story of KB, a charming and ambitious young man who seems to have it all – until one wild night lands him in the hospital with almost no recollection of how he ended up there.
Zazi plays opposite a star-studded cast that includes Kay Bhikitsha, Mpho Sibeko, Sekoati Tsubane and Nkosinathi Emanuel Gweva.
Recently, Zazi took to her Instagram page, to share the trailer of the film.
