Not Taapsee but Kriti Sanon to star in The Invisible Guest remake!

We have recently reported about John Abraham producing the Hindi remake of the successful Spanish film The Invisible Guest (2016). Initially, it was being reported that Taapsee Pannu, who last appeared in the hit film Naam Shabana (2017), might star in the thriller, but if latest reports are to be believed, the plum project has now gone to Kriti Sanon.

However, no official confirmation has been made about the same, industry insiders are sure that Taapsee has been replaced by Kriti in the film which stars John Abraham as the male lead. On the other hand, a certain section of the media also says that since Taapsee had not signed the project on the dotted lines, reports of her being replaced by Kriti doesn't make any sense.


According to an industry insider, Taapsee was just in talks for the film; she was not finalized. But the makers recently saw Bareilly Ki Barfi which stars Kriti Sanon as the female lead. Everyone so impressed with her performance that they decided to rope in the actress for the role.

If all goes well, the yet-to-be-titled film, which will be directed by debutant Lakshya, will hit floors at the end of the year.

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.
