Singaporean director Anthony Chen has his next big project – he’s attached to direct Priyanka Chopra and Sienna Miller in a film adapted from international bestselling novel, Secret Daughter, by Shilpi Somaya Gowda.
Gowda’s novel narrates the story through the gaze of two women: Somer, a newlywed physician from San Francisco who discovers that she is unable to have children and Kavita, a poor mother from India who makes the heartbreaking choice to give her newborn daughter away. The story follows both women, who are interconnected through Asha, a child adopted from a Mumbai orphanage.
Chen made history in 2013 when he became the first Singaporean to not only win the Cannes Film Festival Camera d’Or, but also take home four Golden Horse Awards including the coveted Best Film with his debut feature Ilo Ilo.
