Bhasker Patel, a former Emmerdale actor, and Seann Walsh, a former I’m A Celebrity star, have teamed together on a new project.
In the performance, Bhasker portrayed Rishi Sharma, who passed away earlier this year.
While preparing to attend Jai’s (Chris Bisson) and Laurel’s (Charlotte Bellamy) wedding, the adored character fell down the stairs and died.
The 67-year-old actor shared some behind-the-scenes photos of their next projects along with a photograph he took with comedian Seann.
“Clown” is a comedy film directed by @thenewmancentipede, with @seannwalsh (based on a true story) writing the screenplay and @harrisonnewman directing. The sound design is by @nocontextproductions. “With this team, you couldn’t ask for anything better.” COMING SOON TO A VENUE 🎦 NEAR YOU.
Instagram user Rapier replied to fans’ instant delight with, “You never stop working!!”
“Beautiful pictures,” Mandypinks1 continued.
After spending 12 years in the hamlet, Bhasker’s last scenes brought an end to it. He was very touched by the overwhelming support he received from fans after the departure of his alter persona.
“Working with the Emmerdale family is a great experience; they are a great bunch to work with and I learned a lot. It gives you a brilliant profile, and the online response to Rishi’s death made me cry,” he said.
“We need a huge tale, you know Rishi lost Nikhil, Priya, and Manpreet. We’ll bring Manpreet to you,” they claimed, and when they didn’t, I knew something fishy was going on!” I believed it was okay when Jane Hudson said, “We need a big story and we’re going to kill Rishi off.”
They said that he had worked throughout his time with us in Emmerdale, and he responded, “I thought that was a big compliment, because I’ve been a jobbing actor since 1980 and I love working.”
