Accustomed and trained with the screen and television, Arbana Osmani, certainly did not anticipate that the set would not be so "comfortable" for her. At least, this is how his partner Eduart Grishaj saw it, who, when he decided to have Arbana in his film, thought from the beginning that she was not a real actress, but an actress who would play herself , so it would be introductory. But even then it wasn't that simple...
A day before the premiere of his new film "Sofia", the well-known director, invited to "Goca dhe gra", also confessed the reason why he chose Arbana to be an actress in the film.
" From the beginning of the script, when we started writing it, I had an idea for Arbana to be part of the film, not as an actress, but to play herself. So, Arbana plays herself, and I knew that the best we could do was to leave Arbana in the place that does her best. After the long auditions we had and the practice we developed for the film, in the end she did very well for herself" .
However, Arbana didn't have to do many auditions because she was already used to the cameras. Although not with the ones in the movie...
" We didn't do many auditions, because Arbana had a lot of confidence in herself that she could do it, because she had television in mind, but when we entered the shooting set, that's when the problems started, because Arbana was used to saying things in her own words when presents spectacles, but the film changes completely, because you can't, you don't have to say what you think, but you have to say what the director and screenwriter gave you" - adds Grishaj.
And what is the grade with which Eduarti evaluates Arbana as an actress?
" I would rate it with a grade of 8, so that, if I were to collaborate again on the next film, I would motivate him to get a grade even higher than this."
