Taking to Instagram, Dlamini shared an image of her in character as Lu in the movie, “The Honeymoon”.
In the picture, Dlamini is dressed in a traditional Indian outfit and in the caption accompanying it wishes her followers a “happy Diwali”. She then introduces her new character.

“The Honeymoon” tells the story of three friends in a dilemma.
One of them is dumped the night before her wedding and the three friends, played by Dlamini, Bagwandeen-Singh and Morake, turn the would-be honeymoon into a wild time in paradise.
Dlamini said her character was someone people could relate to.
“We’ve all felt stuck in some way in our lives and it’s about how we get ourselves out of it before it’s too late,” she said.
Dlamini’s last acting role was in Mzansi Magic's “Rockville”. Since then she has been wearing her TV presenter hat in “HomeGround” which ended this year.
Dlamini said in an earlier interview that she was excited to be working on her first feature film.
