Deepika Padukone signs up with an international talent management agency

By Murtuza Iqbal

Deepika Padukone currently has seven films in her kitty. She will be seen in movies like 83, Pathan, Shakun Batra’s next, Nag Ashwin’s next, Fighter, The Intern remake, and Draupadi.


But well, looks like the actress is also eyeing some international projects. According to a report in Deadline, Deepika, who made her Hollywood debut with xXx: Return of Xander Cage, has signed up with the international talent management agency, ICM Partners for representation in all areas.

The agency manages work for John Cena, Ian Somerhalder, Lana Condor, and other celebrities.

Deepika had left a mark with her performance in xXx: Return of Xander Cage, but after the 2017 release, the actress didn’t feature in any Hollywood project. A couple of years ago, it was also confirmed that Deepika will star in the next instalment of xXx, but then there’s no development on it.

The actress was last seen on the big screen in the 2020 release Chhapaak in which she played the role of an acid-attack survivor. The movie received mixed reviews from the critics, but Deepika’s performance was appreciated a lot.

Talking about her upcoming movies, while other films are in production and pre-production, 83 is ready for a release. In the Kabir Khan directorial, Deepika plays the role of Romi Dev, Kapil Dev’s wife. Fans of Deepika and Ranveer Singh are surely excited to watch them together on the big screen.

83 was supposed to release in April 2020 but was postponed due to the pandemic. The makers have not yet announced the new release date of the film.

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.
