    Priyanka Mohan Walks the Red Carpet for Made In Korea at IFFD 2026

    New Delhi, March 2026: Actor Priyanka Mohan walked the red carpet at the International Film Festival Delhi (IFFD) 2026, representing the Netflix original film Made In Korea.

    “It was truly an honour to be at IFFD 2026 for the screening of our film Made In Korea. This film is very special to me, and we’ve put a lot of heart and effort into bringing Shenba’s journey to life. Being one of the first Indian films to be shot in Korea made the experience even more memorable. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the film trending globally on Netflix and resonating with audiences everywhere. I’m truly overwhelmed by the response we’ve been receiving. My heartfelt thanks to Netflix and IFFD for this recognition,” said Priyanka Mohan.

    The film arrived at IFFD 2026 following a strong global run, emerging as the only South Indian title to secure the #1 position in Netflix’s Global Top 10 (Non-English Films) for two consecutive weeks.

    Blending Indo-Korean cultures, Made In Korea stood out for its emotionally grounded storytelling and striking visual appeal. It followed Shenba’s journey from Tamil Nadu to Seoul, exploring themes of love, friendship, belonging, and family with a warmth that resonated widely with audiences. Its cross-cultural narrative and rooted performances contributed to its growing global connect.

    As IFFD 2026 brought together diverse cinematic voices, the film’s red carpet presence reflected the expanding global footprint of South Indian storytelling on international platforms.
