Deepika Padukone and Salman Khan might team up for Inshallah

Buzz has it that celebrated Indian filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known for making grand, visually stunning films, is gearing up to work on his next directorial venture after immensely successful Padmaavat (2018). Titled Inshallah, the movie is said to be a romantic tale of two lovers.

While rumours have been rife that Salman Khan has been roped in to play the male lead in the film, the latest we hear that SLB has now locked Deepika Padukone to play the female part in it. If reports turn out to be true, it will be the first time when Salman and Deepika share the screen space in a movie.


In the last three films of Sanjay Leela Bhansali - Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela (2013), Bajirao Mastani (2015) and Padmaavat - Deepika Padukone has been constant. So, it should not come as a surprise if his next directorial also features the great actress as the female lead.

Moreover, Salman and Deepika have never worked together before. Their fresh pairing will definitely grab more eyeballs for the project which, if translated into footfalls in theatres when the movie releases, will be great for the investors.

We are waiting for an official announcement from Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions.

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.
