Boney Kapoor reveals after Valimai he will be producing one more film starring Ajith Kumar

Boney Kapoor reveals after Valimai he will be producing one more film starring Ajith Kumar

After the super success of the Tamil film Nerkonda Paarvai, actor Ajith Kumar, director H. Vinoth, and producer Boney Kapoor have teamed up for Valimai which is all set to release on Pongal next year.

Recently, while talking to The Hindu, Kapoor revealed that after Valimai, he will be once again teaming up with Kumar and Vinoth.


While talking about Vinoth, Kapoor said, “He believes in expressing himself through his films. It was Ajith who sent Vinoth to my Mumbai residence to narrate some film ideas a few years back. I remember my wife (the late actor Sridevi) conversing with him in Tamil, and being impressed with his storylines. His vision was clear, and ours has been a happy journey. In fact, my next film will also be with Ajith and Vinoth.”

A few days ago, Kapoor had announced that Valimai will release on Pongal (January 2022) next year. Soon, there were reports that Vijay’s Beast will also release on the same day.

When Kapoor was asked about the clash, he said, “Well, if it does, Pongal will get brighter for the fans of both stars.”

Valimai also stars Huma Qureshi and Kartikeya Gummakonda. While the film will mark Gummakonda’s Tamil debut, it will be Qureshi’s second Kollywood film.

A few days ago, on Gummakonda’s birthday, the makers of Valimai had unveiled his first look poster.

Joaquin Pedro Valdes on finding his place in London and challenging stereotypes in British theatre

Highlights

  • Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes left a career in filmmaking and advertising to pursue musical theatre in the UK, following his first love for the stage.
  • Now playing Benny in RENT, he wants audiences to see the character as a complicated human being rather than simply the villain.
  • Valdes believes Asian representation in British theatre has improved, but says producers and creative teams still have a long way to go.

Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes spent nine years working in filmmaking, directing commercials and advertising before deciding to pursue the one passion he could never leave behind. Theatre had been part of his life since childhood, but turning it into a full-time career meant leaving Manila, moving to the UK and rebuilding his professional life in a new country.

Now performing as Benny in the West End production of RENT, Valdes is drawing on his own experiences of ambition, financial pressure and belonging to explore a character who is often dismissed as the musical's antagonist. For him, Benny's story is about more than money. It is about someone who once belonged to a community but chose a different path in the hope of building a better life.
