Kartik Aaryan roped in to headline Pati, Patni Aur Woh remake

Kartik Aaryan, who delivered one of the biggest blockbusters of 2018 in the form of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, has several exciting projects in his pocket right now. He has just finished shooting for Dinesh Vijan’s forthcoming film Luka Chuppi with Kriti Sanon and will soon start working on the official remake of Kannada blockbuster Kirik Party (2016). There are also reports that he is being considered for ace filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s next directorial venture.

The latest we hear that Aaryan has given his nod to topline the official remake of cult Hindi film Pati, Patni Aur Woh. The comic-caper, which released in 1978, takes a comical take on the extra-marital affair. While Kartik has come onboard to play the male lead, two actresses who will star opposite him are yet to be locked.


"Kartik loved the script and is excited to be a part of the remake of an iconic film. While the core of the story will remain the same, the makers have contemporised it, so it will appeal to today's audience. Prep has begun. The team starts shooting from February in Mumbai," a source close to the production reveals.

Helmed by B.R. Chopra, the original Pati, Patni Aur Woh starred Sanjeev Kumar as the male lead and Vidya Sinha and Ranjeeta as female leads. It is one of the most loved comedy films on the subject of extra-marital affairs.

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.
