Arab and international media are competing to host South Sudanese actress Siran Riek, the heroine of the film with the highest views and revenues (Goodbye, Julia). Despite the success achieved by Siran, her experience in the film is her first, as she has never acted before.
*International
Siran, Queen of South Sudan in 2004, said that the film opened doors for her that she had not expected or dreamed of. Director Mohamed Kordofani nominated her because of his similarity to the character of Julia. Siran said in an interview to Emirates Evening(Masaa Al-Emarat) that she does not have the slightest experience in acting, as she did not enter She never worked in the field, but she worked for 13 years as a model and was crowned in 2004 as Miss South Sudan. Although she expected the film to find acceptance, she did not expect it to reach the international level.
*Acting courses
Sirak first impression of Julia is that she is a strong, compassionate, sweet person and a very strong woman who, as a mother, makes all the decisions for the sake of her family. She said in an interview to ( what women want magazine) that she received acting courses in Dubai for the film, in addition to intensive training in Khartoum even before filming began. Be in character.
*memories
Seran used her own memories of the breakup so that she could master the role, as she described the character as having volatile emotions, so she took things from her own past.
Things that happened in the breakup were influential for her. She said: I remembered many things, especially during the film’s preparations, so that the expressions in my eyes and feelings were correct.
*desire
After the film achieved great success in the Arab world, Seran appeared in pictures of her with a number of Egyptian drama stars, and she did not hide her desire to appear in an Egyptian work opposite Yousra, Ahmed Helmy, or Mona Zaki, because Egyptian drama, in her opinion, is a gateway to the world.
*success
After the two films (She Will Die at Twenty) and (Goodbye Julia) and the success they achieved that dazzled the world, Sirak believes that Sudanese cinema will not stop and that actors and producers will be encouraged to enter the field of cinema because the door has opened and will not close until Sudanese cinema stands in its rightful place.
