Hollywood star Radha Mitchell’s next project will explore India’s spirituality

Hollywood actress Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill), who experiences a feeling of home in India, participated in recent Kumbh Mela, according to reports.
Mitchell’s next film project will reportedly explore India’s spirituality. She was reportedly awestruck by Red Fort in Delhi and undertook a road trip of India when she was about 19. Her Australian film “The Waiting City” was shot in India in the recent past.
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has welcomed Mitchell’s interest in spirituality of India. But he urged Mitchell to seriously study the rich philosophical thought and spirituality which Hinduism offered so that her depiction of Hinduism was authentic. If Mitchell needed any assistance in her exploration of Hinduism, he or other Hindu scholars would be glad to share their knowledge, Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, added in a statement in Nevada (USA) today.
Born in Melbourne (Australia) as Radha Rani Amber Indigo Anunda Mitchell, she reportedly had a spiritually inclined upbringing in Hindu-Vaishnavite tradition by her parents, and is a vegetarian and practices yoga. Her Italian model mother reportedly became infatuated with India in the early 1970s. In her name, “Radha” means “Lord Krishna’s beloved”, “Rani” means “queen” and “Anunda” means “bliss”.

Radha Mitchell’s talks about being home

LA-based Australian actress Radha Mitchell is back home in Australia to launch a new Playstation movie download service, and visit family in Melbourne.
Mitchell, who’s starred in films such as Finding Neverland, Surrogates and Silent Hill, talked about her latest project, Australian film The Waiting City, which will be shown at the Sydney Film Festival in June and released in Australia in July.
She plans to come back for the July release.
Mitchell also spoke about her career and another recent movie, The Crazies. Mitchell has been based in the US for about 13 years but says it’s important to her to divide her time between both countries.
Q: WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO PROMOTE THE pLAYSTATION MOVIE DOWNLOAD SERVICE?
A: I already have a Playstation. And I was kind of happy to know that three of my movies are on their playlist. And assuming that they’re going to be putting on more soon, kind of adds to their catalogue. Obviously I’m very happy to come home to be in Australia. I’m here for a few days then I’m going to be in Melbourne where my mum is. Any opportunity to hear the Australian accent and be with Australian people is always exciting for me.
Q: WHEN WILL YOU BE BACK IN AUSTRALIA?
A: I’m coming out again for the release of The Waiting City. I’m very excited about the release. That movie is very close to my heart. It’s a beautiful love story about a couple who go to India to adopt a baby, but in the process reconnect and fall in love again and rediscover what it is to be married. That’s a really beautiful story to tell. But I was also drawn to the story because it is about adoption and I think that’s a really important issue. And it’s wonderful to be able to explore it in context.

Radha’s Mitchell India connection

India is certainly the buzzword in the US with now Hollywood actor Radha Mitchell looking to delve into India’s spirituality in a forthcoming film. Radha, it is being said, got inspired to take the plunge after she participated in the Kumbh Mela in India. It is also being reported that she feels more at home in India than the US after her philosophical and surreal experience in the country.
The Surrogates and Phone Booth star has been apparently bowled over by the country after she toured India specially Delhi and its majestic buildings. She undertook a road trip of India and was amazed by the Red Fort. She has also shot in India for a film titled The Waiting City. Born in Melbourne, Radha reportedly had a spiritually inclined upbringing in Hindu-Vaishnavite tradition by her parents. She is a vegetarian and practices yoga. It is also being said that Radha’s Italian model mother loves India from the bottom of her heart.
The Hindus in the US are welcoming this development too. They have urged Radha to seriously study the rich philosophical thought and spirituality which Hinduism offered so that her depiction of Hinduism was authentic. Moreover, they have said that if Radha needed any assistance in her exploration of Hinduism, Hindu scholars would be glad to share their knowledge with her.
