LOS ANGELES: Actors Nina Toussaint-White and Bahador Foladi have joined the cast of Gerard Butler-starrer “Kandahar”.
The action-thriller is directed by Ric Roman Waugh, best known for helming films “Angel Has Fallen”, “Felon” and “Greenland”.
“Kandahar” is based on the screenplay Waugh developed with former military intelligence officer Mitchell LaFortune.
