South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun is considering a role in the upcoming action film “Real,” according to his management company KeyEast.

“Kim has already received the scenario for ‘Real’ and is carefully reviewing possible roles,” an official from KeyEast said in an interview with a local entertainment news outlet.

Directed by Lee Jung-seob, “Real” centers on a man with dissociative identity disorder who has two conflicting personalities that fight off each other.

The film is earning attention from the public as it will mark Kim’s return to the big screen after two-year hiatus since his last role in the movie “Secretly Greatly,” if he stars in the action-thriller flick.

It was earlier reported that “Real” will be produced by Sanai Pictures, a company that has also produced “New World.”

Kim’s agency, however, played down the reports, saying the production company of the movie has yet to be confirmed.

Kim, 27, has also starred in various hit movies such as “The Thieves” and “Secretly Greatly,” as well as his well-known stint on “The Man from the Star.”

Kim is currently shooting for the much anticipated KBS2 TV series “Producer,” which is slated for a May premiere.
