Altered Carbon is based on Richard K Morgan's novel of the same name

Most Indians may not have watched the stunning Mexican actor Martha Higareda on screen, although she's had a few popular acting credits, like Street Kings (2008), with Keanu Reeves. A lot of people might know her back in Mexico, partly because of India though, I tell her, as we meet for a round-table interview in Seoul. In 2017, Higareda starred in the Spanish version of Rajkumar Hirani's 3 Idiots (2009), titled 3 Idiotas, which, she says, cracked it at the box office in Mexico. She played Kareena Kapoor's role in the Carlos Bolado film, which happened because one of her producers, visiting India, had caught the Aamir Khan-starrer, made her watch it, and she "instantly fell in love with the coming of age movie, that talks about following your dreams — a message that needed to be passed on in Mexico."
