Kōki Named AFA Rising Star; Quiver Boards ‘Culprit’; ‘Real Men’ Format Spin-Off; ‘Grace’ Renewed; Amol Rajan Doc; Amir Locke Film Deal


Japan's Kōki has won the Asian Film Awards Rising Star award, joining previous winners such as 2017's Park Seo-joon and 2019's Win Metawin.

Known as a singer and model, Kōki made her acting debut in 2022 and earned a Blue Ribbon Award in Japan for her dual role performance in horror film Ox Head Village. She went on to star in UK-Iceland romantic feature Touch and more recently was in British survival thriller Tornado, about a young Japanese woman who finds herself in peril when her father’s traveling puppet show crosses paths with a ruthless criminal gang. Fremantle is selling the documentary, which is being sold under the working title Earth’s Biggest Festival: Kumbh Mela and being launched to global buyers at the London TV Screenings next week.
