Sushant & Rajkumar Rao set for a hat-trick

If latest reports are to be believed, actors Sushant Singh Rajput and Rajkummar Rao are set for a hat-trick as the duo has signed their third film together.

Sushant and Rajkumar were first seen together in Abhishek Kapoor's 2013 film, Kai Po Che! The film marked Singh's debut in Bollywood and was received very well by the audience. The duo worked together again in producer-turned-director Dinesh Vijan's directorial debut, Raabta, which released last year.


Now we have learnt that both the actors are coming together for yet another untitled film which will mark their hat-trick of projects.

According to sources, acclaimed actor-director Satish Kaushik, who has not been very active in films of late, is making his comeback to direction with an untitled film. He has, reportedly, already cast Sushant and Rajkummar to play male leads in his upcoming movie.

We also hear that the director was about to begin shooting for the film a couple of months back. However, due to Rajkummar Rao's leg injury, he had to wait to take off the project.

Meanwhile, Sushant is currently busy with the shooting of his upcoming films Drive, Kedarnath and Son Chiraiya. Rao, on the other hand, is filming for Stree and Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga. He will also be seen in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Fanne Khan.

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.
