Naveen Andrews Joins Paramount+’s ‘Last King Of The Cross’ Season 2

EXCLUSIVE: Naveen Andrews has joined the cast of Paramount+‘s Australian drama series Last King of the Cross.

He will play lead antagonist Ray Kinnock in the second season of the show, which tells the story of Sydney nightclub kingpin John Ibrahim (Lincoln Younes) and his brother Sam (Claude Jabbour).

Filming is underway on season 2 in Sydney, as John sights set on capturing a new kingdom — the glittering prize of Oxford Street, Sydney’s nightclub empire.

Andrews will bring to life the fictional character of Ray Kinnock, who is determined to either keep John out, or take him down. The actor is best known for his role on ABC cult drama Lost, for which he won a Screen Actors Guild award along with the rest of the cast. He also appeared in the iconic classic movie The English Patient and, most recently, The Dropout, alongside Amanda Seyfried and is a Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Award nominee.

Also joining the show for season two are Luke Arnold (Scrublands, INXS: Never Tear Us Apart) and Matuse (The Fall Guy, Furiosa), who will play Dean Taylor and Benny respectively, two new drug lords hell-bent on bringing their booming trade into John’s clubs.

Paramount Australia’s Creative Advisor Drama, Rick Maier said: “Going up against the Ibrahims on screen is no easy task. Naveen promises to give Lincoln and Claude a run for their money. He’s a brilliant actor, and a fantastic inclusion for series two.

“The addition of Luke and Matuse, only add weight to the feeling that this is the hottest ticket in town for actors keen to join this red hot ensemble. They will be terrific.”

“Naveen is a highly respected and celebrated actor who has captivated audiences with stunning performances in major hits such as Lost, The English Patient, Bride and Prejudice and more recently The Dropout,” added Mark Fennessy from producer Helium Pictures. A massive addition to Last King of The Cross, as our primary antagonist, he brings a delicious mix of cool and class to a diverse and multi-talented cast”.

Last King of The Cross comes from Helium Pictures with Cineflix Rights as the exclusive international distribution partner. The series received major production investment from Paramount Australia in association with Screen Australia and is financed with support from Screen NSW through the Made in NSW fund and Fulcrum Media Finance. Post, digital and visual effects supported by Screen NSW and Screen Queensland.

Andrews is repped by Gersh.

'Dunkirk' Sparks Debate in India Over Failure to Show Soldiers From the Country

'Dunkirk' Sparks Debate in India Over Failure to Show Soldiers From the Country

3:20 AM PDT 7/28/2017 by Nyay Bhushan

While Christopher Nolan’s film has received critical acclaim in India, some media reports have questioned why the film has ignored the “significant contribution” of Indian soldiers in Dunkirk.

Dunkirk opened in India last Friday to stellar reviews and what is considered a strong box-office opening for a Hollywood film, bringing in an estimated $2.4 million. But not everyone in the country is impressed.

Various reports in leading media outlets have questioned why Christopher Nolan’s movie ignored what the Times of India newspaper calls the “significant contribution” of Indian soldiers at Dunkirk. The article, titled “How Nolan forgot the desis (Indians) at Dunkirk”, notes that the omission should be seen in light of the fact that the “British public is more well-informed today about the Indian role in the World Wars.”

It also refers to Oxford historian Yasmin Khan’s book The Raj at War, in which the author writes, “Britain did not fight the Second World War, the British Empire did.”

International observers are also echoing a similar sentiment. In a column for Slate, John Broich, an associate professor of history at Case Western Reserve University, wrote that the appearance of Indian soldiers in the film “would have provided a good reminder of how utterly central the role of the Indian Army was in the war. Their service meant the difference between victory and defeat.”

Broich, whose views have also been quoted by the Hindustan Times newspaper, points out that there were four companies of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps at Dunkirk adding that “observers said they were particularly cool under fire and well-organized during the retreat.”

According to historical data, some 2.5 million soldiers from the Indian sub-continent served with the British army during World War II. But the depiction of Indian soldiers in Hollywood films revolving around the war have been few and far between. One of the most notable on-screen appearances was last seen in 1996’s The English Patient which featured British Indian actor Naveen Andrews (Sense8, Lost) in a supporting role as an Indian Sikh soldier, Kip Singh, serving in the Italian campaign of the war in the Oscar-winning film, which starred Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche.

Referring to historical accounts of the war, in an article headlined “Miracle at Dunkirk: Indians too were trapped with Allied forces,” India Today pointed out that 1,800 Indian soldiers were tasked with transporting 2,000 mules which carried arms and ammunition to the war zone in France. Since the British army had disbanded its animal transport companies after World War I, Indian companies were brought in to transport supplies over terrain in France that wasn’t accessible for cars.

The Indian contingent was designated as Force K-6 and departed from what was then called Bombay (now Mumbai), reaching Marseilles in France in December 1939. According to the Times of India, three companies of Force K-6 were evacuated to safety during Operation Dynamo, the Allied operation to extricate about 400,000 British forces from Dunkirk, which forms the backdrop of the film. However, one remaining Indian company was taken captive by the Nazis, and many of its men died in German POW camps.

While most opinions are focusing on how the film missed out on a bit of history, the Hindustan Times’ article offers somewhat of a counter view with the headline “Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk forgot the Indian soldiers’ contribution, but does it matter?” Pointing to one scene early on in the film where a British soldier is seen refusing entry to French troops who want to board one of the boats to safety, the article says: “Long story short – if anyone should be outraged at their less-than-glowing depiction in the movie, it’s the French.”

Questioning whether a film “which makes the conscious choice to exclude everyone, but the British from its narrative be held at fault for not mentioning the Indian contribution,” the article also says that Dunkirk “is a celebration of the bravery shown by common people. And if Indians were involved, the film, however abstract it is in its ways, pays homage to them too.”
