Camila Mendes talks about the rom-com Upgraded

After becoming a household name with her popular role in Riverdale, actress Camila Mendes is all set to bowl fans over with her much-loved swoony charm.

Playing Ana Santos, a broke but ambitious art curator intern from New York, Mendes will be seen in the upcoming Amazon Original movie Upgraded. The film takes viewers alongside the streets of London in this romantic comedy, where mistaken identities and luck-filled meet-cutes will steal their hearts this Valentine’s season.

Mendes, who also dons the hat of an executive producer for the film, felt an instant connection to Ana Santos and was excited to be fully involved in developing her character arc and the story. “What I love most about starring in projects I also get to produce, is having more authority to weigh in on creative choices,” says Mendes. Directed by Carlson Young, the film is slated to premiere on Prime Video today.
