Sushant Singh Rajput approached for The Fault In Our Stars remake?

Going by the buzz, Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput has been approached to star in the Hindi remake of popular Hollywood film, The Fault In Our Stars which originally featured Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort in lead roles.

Rajput, who was last seen in Dinesh Vijan’s directorial debut, Raabta, is currently shooting for his forthcoming film, Kedarnath. The movie, which is being helmed by director Abhishek Kapoor, marks the acting debut of actors Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan’s daughter, Sara Ali Khan.


Kedarnath has already gone on floors with its first schedule being shot across some picturesque locations of Kedarnath in Uttarakhand. It’s during the shoot of the movie in Kedarnath when some crew members heard Sushant talking incessantly about being approached for the remake of Hollywood film. Reportedly, he did not disclose whether or not he has given his nod to star in the film.

Interestingly, a couple of months back, there were reports that Homi Adajania and Dinesh Vijan were keen to remake the movie with Deepika Padukone and Varun Dhawan. Not just them, Dharma Productions’ head honcho Karan Johar was also interested in remaking the film with his favourite Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur.

Now, who is making the movie and with whom, we can know only when Fox Star Studios make an official announcement.

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.
