Zhang Shu Min, a Chinese girl who is working in the ace director Lal Jose's new movie Arabikatha was recently in Kerala to shot for a part of the film.

Pretty surprised with the Kerala culture and its beautiful people, the actress was the talk of the mob in the filmi circuit. She bagged the role opposite Sreenivasan when she was working for a Dubai-based company.

Zang Shu Min's entry into films is a story that will very well suit a film. She started as a translator -- helping the crew to find a Chinese girl for the role.

The director cannot find any one better who could speak good English and could emote as well, like Shu Min. That's when director Lal Jose decided on Shu Min for the role.

“I have been in Dubai for more than three years now and I was quite friendly with a number of Malayalis. Besides, I get a warm reception wherever I go”, says the actress who is pretty new to the field and its etiquette’s.

The film will grace the theatres next month.
