Cantona, who won four Premier League titles in five years and two League and FA Cup Doubles with Manchester United, is starring in a new feature fiction film called ‘Anka’. Directed by Dejan Aćimović and produced by his sister Tatjana, Anka is based on the eponymous children’s book written by Mate Lovrak. World renowned French director of photography Thierry Arbogast will work on the film also, as well as actors Ralf Möller (“Gladiator”) and Rade Šerbedžija.
