Jennifer Lopez turns casting director for Second Act!

Mumbai: Actress Jennifer Lopez will give us an inspiring start to the new year with her latest film 'Second Act'. Revolving around the story of Maya, a deserving but undervalued woman, Jennifer Lopez portrays an ambitious character who gets a chance to prove that street smarts are as good as book smarts in the real world, if not better.

Trust her to know her job so well that when she was doing a reading of the script, she knew exactly who she would like to play her love interest in the film.

Well-known American actor Milo Ventimiglia was her first choice for the character of Trey and Peter Segal couldn't agree more!

“I only saw Milo Ventimiglia for Trey,” said the actress. “His face always popped into my mind. He’s so busy now with his hit show and probably one of the biggest moments in his career, but he read the script and once we spoke we both knew it was something we wanted to do together.”

“An actor like Milo, whose heart and emotions are so wide open to whatever might happen in the moment, is a real pleasure to work with,” Lopez continued. “You don’t have to hide. You can really just let all the feelings go.”

Directed by Peter Segal, the film stars Leah Remini, Vanessa Hudgens, Treat Williams and Milo Ventimiglia. The film is slated to release in India on January 11th, 2019.
