For the role of a role in the pseudocumental comedy "Brata" Actor and comedian Sasha Baron Cohen in 2007 was awarded the Golden Globe Prize, but it did not reach the individual nomination for Oscar. After almost one and a half dozen, Cohen returned to the image of the Kazakhstan journalist Brata Sagdiev in Brata 2, but this time the actor wishes success at Oscare, and his colleague Mary Bakalova. In the latest video interview in support of your new movie Cohen said:
She is an incredible actress. In search of a suitable performer, we listened to 600 young women from around the world, and it turned out to be the brightest. I consider it one of the most brave actresses in history. If it does not receive a nomination for Oscar, it will be akin to some farce. She is very funny, but at the same time she is able to play the scene, which will make you cry. It was this skill that allowed her to get a role. When we shot the scene of the gap, I had to suspend work, because I was overwhelmed with emotions. It is special. Imagine someone who first comes to America to play the heroine, which turns out to be in horrific situations. She coped with all this. Her game is a revelation.
In Borate 2, 24-year-old Bakalov performed the 15-year-old daughter of the main character. At the same time, not only Cohen remained delighted with the young Bulgarian actress, but also the critics who noted her ability to organically fit into the Cohen's improvisational comedy.
