She plays Tutar, the 15-year-old daughter of Sasha Baron Cohen.
The secret weapon of the movie “Borat 2” is in the satirical humor of the Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova. This is the assessment of one of the most prestigious British media: the BBC. Bakalova is a true discovery for Western editions, because her name was unknown before she entered the colorful image of Tutar, the daughter of Borat. However, or precisely because of the pleasant surprise of a new talent, she became the favorite of the fans of the film.

It appeared on Amazon’s online platform yesterday, October 23, and in just a few hours, thousands wrote on social media how brave and entertained they were while watching it. We are talking about people from all over the world: the United States, Russia, Germany and others. There were even predictions that the young Bakalova couldn’t help but receive an Oscar nomination for the supporting female role.
The film begins right where the first film about the Kazakh journalist Borat ended, which came out 14 years ago. Her role is again played by comedian Sasha Baron Cohen. However, the plot revolves around his daughter Tutar, whom he did not even suspect existed. Borat decides to return to the United States, which is now ruled by Donald Trump. To win his favor

So who is more suitable than your 15-year-old daughter, the oldest girl from Kazakhstan?
Bakalova recreates the image of Tutar in a fun and slightly satirical way. His heroine is a girl who still does not know the big city. She’s naive and goofy, not at all interested in fashion, in her knee-length denim skirt and beige kitty sweater.
“My father is the smartest man on the flat earth,” comments like this reinforce his comic image. But it owes its overall effect to Bakalova’s talent. When he speaks, he does so in a specific dialect, using his childish voice. Combined with his childish demeanor at times, he makes the viewer laugh. Last but not least, his ability to control his facial expressions almost perfectly gives him a huge advantage, because Tutar is sometimes surprised, sometimes happy, sometimes trying to understand what they say to him.
“Bakalova is a true discovery. Most of the moments in the film that made me narrow my eyes with laughter were when she was the main character. Her wide, wide eyes and warmth when communicating with strangers made her story strangely emotional, “wrote BBC critic Nicholas Barber. He stresses that everyone knew that Cohen could handle this kind of humor, but the real value of the film comes from seeing Bakalova on the same level as him.
One of his scenes in the film stirred spirits in the United States. The actress was filmed in a compromising situation in a hotel room with the lawyer for the US president and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. She introduces herself as a young reporter who interviews him. At one point, he is seen bending over to remove the microphone on his lapel, and at that moment he shoves his hands into his pants, lying on a bed. Cohen steps in and says, “He’s 15 years old. He’s too old for you.”
The scene was filmed with a hidden camera in New York. Giuliani claims that he never undressed. What can be seen in the common photos is how he lies down on the bed to put his shirt on his pants.
Cohen responded in his typical humorous style. He posted a video on Instagram in which he ironically said that
“Sexy time”,
spent between
the former mayor of Nueva
York and the 15-year-old
his daughter is
turned into something
disgusting
of the media that spread fake news.
US Vice President Mike Pence also stars in Borat 2, according to IMDB. According to unconfirmed information, he was also photographed with a hidden camera. The cast includes Tom Hanks.
Although for the western media the Bulgarian actress is a discovery, our compatriots know her well, despite the fact that she is only 24 years old.
Burgas’s wife was hesitant to start acting. His other great passion is music. “Since I was 6 years old, I have been playing the flute and singing, in the seventh grade I decided that I wanted to deal with this permissible schizophrenia for the rest of my life – acting. I entered the National School of Arts in Burgas with a profile of” Acting for Dramatic Theater “, and as soon as I graduated, I applied and was accepted into NATFA in the class of Prof. Ivan Dobchev in the same specialty -” Acting for Dramatic Theater, “said some time ago. Bakalova in an interview from” 24 hours”.
“I have loved the stage all my life, I have lots of albums with pictures of children and video tapes of games and incarnations of children. I’ve always dreamed of being Alex today, Sonya tomorrow, and on Monday I can live like a child, ”Bakalova laughed a year ago. “Being an actor, for me, means allowing yourself to put yourself in the shoes of both the most precise person and the most idiotic,” he added.
He gained popularity with his participation in the film “The Father”, which last year won the Grand Prize “Crystal Globe” at one of the most prestigious film festivals in Karlovy Vary. “In fact, my role turned out to be much more important than I initially thought. The story is about a father and his son, and I am the mother. My image is made up of flashbacks, old photos and videos as the plot begins after my death, “says Bakalova. For the photos of” The Father “works with the talented Ivan Burnev.
His other great role in Bulgarian cinema is in the movie “I like it for the last time”.
“I spent a whole month
shoulder to shoulder
together with
the incredible vasil
Banov, who I love
like my father “,
the actress explained. Then he teamed up with actors Anton Radichev, Kiril Kavadarkov, Lubo Chatalov and others.
He went through the Bulgarian acting school and his teachers were some of his biggest names. “I am happy to admit that in all the projects I have participated in, I have always been the youngest and the opportunity to be able to associate with established names was great luck,” says Bakalova some time ago.
Not only his talent, but also his ambitious desire to keep going is the reason for his success in “Borat 2”. “If we are satisfied with the level we have already reached, there is nothing to strive for and this is destructive both for the art and for us as individuals! You have to doubt. And thinking people have an innate instinct for failure. It can always be better, we always want something more, ”explained Bakalova.
Perhaps that is why he began to practice his profession outside of Bulgaria. “A lot of productions come here, but unfortunately, as far as I know, the teams have already chosen the main cast, for us they are more like episodic roles, the mass, etc. I do not know. So far, I have only participated in a foreign production, but it was independent, so I am not convinced of how things are with Hollywood in Bulgaria ”, said Bakalova with a laugh a year ago to“ 24 Hours ”.
“If a disciplined and prepared actor wants a role and thinks he can play it, I think he has an absolute chance of getting it. How was it? A man is as big as his dreams! And sometimes even more”, with these words, Bakalova ended her interview a while ago, today she herself is proof that they are true.
