The shoot for the romantic comedy Valentino starts at the end of this week. With Kees Boot (Moordwijven) as Valentino's colleague Lammers and Mohammed Azaay (Lijn 32, Overspel) as Valentino's brother, the cast is complete. Jort Kelder appears as Valentino's (Najib Amhali) Maserati customer.

The filming period runs from late July to late August, and filming is taking place at various locations around Amsterdam. It was previously announced that, in addition to Najib Amhali, actors such as Elise Schaap, Derek de Lint, Johnny de Mol, Nasrdin Dchar, and Yolanthe Cabau van Kasbergen will appear in the feature film.

Valentino (39) is a successful Italian Maserati salesman and is in a relationship with Monique, his boss's daughter. He is about to be promoted and marry his great love. But Valentino has one problem; he is not Italian! When his father suffers a heart attack, he makes an emotional appeal to his son. Valentino agrees, but soon his promotion to director threatens to fall completely through because of it. And worse still; all the excuses make Monique start to doubt his love. To keep the woman of his dreams, Valentino will have to take off his Italian mask.

Valentino is directed by Remy van Heugten, known for television series such as HOE OVERLEEF IK...?, VAN GOD LOS, and FEUTEN.
