India, Oct. 14 -- A ctor Naomi Ackie, known for films such as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) and Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (2022), is gearing up for her next outing, DC's psychological thriller Clayface, based on the classic DC Comics supervillain and one of Batman's recurring adversaries. Talking about what Batman fans can expect from the film, Ackie tells us, "Expect having more empathy than you normally would for the origin story of a villain, and a lot of heart. The days Tom (Rhys Harries) would show up in prosthetics were fascinating. I would want to touch it but also not." Ackie plays an "ambitious" scientist in the film, a role she says she had to fight hard for. "The script was complex and heartfelt, elements I did not expect to be in the film. I just had to audition hard to get the role," she says. The BAFTA-winning actor, who first visited India in 2023, fondly recalls her experience. "I remember going for a drive in Mumbai and ending up at a market. I was overwhelmed with the number of people; everything was so loud! A year later, I ended up in Keralam and it was the opposite, so quiet. I've been to Keralam twice and I can't wait to go again. It is one of my favourite places."...
