Harry Potter actor to star in South African film
He is expected to play a South African man branded as a terrorist and jailed in 1978 for being involved in covert anti-apartheid operations for the ANC.
British actor Daniel Radcliffe, 27, is heading to South Africa in 2018 to take on his latest film role, the Pretoria North Rekord reports.
The Harry Potter star will play former political prisoner Tim Jenkin in a movie based on Jenkin’s autobiography, Inside Out: Escape from Pretoria Prison.
Jenkin was one of two South Africans branded as terrorists who were jailed in 1978 for being involved in covert anti-apartheid operations for the ANC.
It is understood the film, a drama, will show how the pair, sent to a Pretoria maximum security prison, planned their escape using a device made from a broom handle and a mirror Jenkin had hidden in his cell.
