Alden Richards Replaces Aljur Abrenica in "Panday 2"

Aljur Abrenica had been pulled out of the cast of Panday 2 (Ang Panday: Ikalawang Aklat) due to some pre-scheduled commitments abroad that get in conflict with his shooting schedules. It's just sad that the scenes Aljur had finished shooting will go to waste.

The good news is that a fresher face will replace Aljur for the role. Alden Richards, who we all loved in GMA-7's Alakdana earlier this year, took the role Aljur had left. As the saying goes, "One's loss is another's gain."

The 18-year-old hottie who just entered showbiz this January is so lucky to have been given the right kind of exposures as of late. He's also included in the upcoming youth-oriented Tween Academy Class of 2012 which is showing on August 24th.

He made quite a buzz as of late when FHM's Sexiest Sam Pinto agreed to have a date with him. He took her to a dinner date in Prestige Cruises. This young man knows how to impress, no?

But being in the cast of Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry Panday 2 (and taking Aljur's role at that) can be considered as his biggest break so far. He will be billed alongside Bong Revilla, Marian Rivera, Iza Calzado and Phillip Salvador. Not bad for someone who just started last January.

Directed by Mac Alejandre and Rico Gutierrez, the movie's extended cast includes Rhian Ramos, Kris Bernal, Eddie Garcia, Jackielou Blanco, Benjie Paras, and child actors Buboy Villar and Sabrina Man.

Panday 2 or Ang Panday: Ikalawang Aklat will be released in 3D on December 25th alongside other MMFF entries.

Watch the impressive teaser trailer below.
