The big screen adaptation of the 1990s British sitcom, starring Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, has been written by the former and is currently in production for a scheduled cinema release in July, 2016, reported Contactmusic.
Janette Tough, from Scottish comedy duo "The Krankies", has been cast as a male Japanese fashion designer called Huki Muki, and Korean-American Cho has taken issue with a white actor playing an Asian, calling bosses of the film racist.
She embarked on a lengthy rant against the film on Twitter, writing, "I am sick of yellowface. Have some respect. Hire Asian actors 4 Asian roles... I'm upset because I love them. It's AbFab - I really was looking forward to it too. That's sad.
"It's hard enough to get into film and TV as a person of colour - and when roles written for us are played by white actors - it's an outrage... We've tried to shame racism out of existence but I guess some people really don't care. They're shameless but NOT BLAMELESS.
