Actress, singer and entrepreneur KC Concepcion has been confirmed to star in the New York-set film Asian Persuasion replacing actress Toni Gonzaga who was previously announced for the role.
As exclusively reported by Variety on Tuesday, April 12, KC will be paired opposite Filipino-American Hollywood actor Dante Basco along with the rest of the lead cast that include Kevin Kreider, Paolo Montalban, Scarlett Sher, Celia Au, Geneva Carr, and Jax Bacani.
KC posted her gratitude for the opportunity to play the part. She also shared that she and the rest of the cast are now onto their third day of filming.

“Onto day 3 of filming @asianpersuasionfilm! Thank you for joining us on this new journey. Grateful to be part of this Asian-American project, with our amazing cast & crew,” she said.
The film is directed and produced by Tony Award-winning producer Jhett Tolentino and written by Mike Ang.
