'Soy Tu Doble VIP' Cast News: Lupita Sandoval to Portray Jenni Rivera?
It may not be the official Jenni Rivera movie, but Lupita Sandoval may still be portraying the late singer.
"Soy Tu Doble VIP" is a show where famous celebrities have to imitate singers and other musicians. Sandoval will be part of the new season of the show, and celebrities are able to choose who they want to portray. Sandoval has chosen hers, and it seems to be Jenni Rivera, according to TV Notas.
Though Lupita Sandoval does not resemble Jenni Rivera, a source said the transformation will leave people surprised.
Other celebrities that will participate are Karla Díaz, Chao, Vicente Fernández's Rodrigo, Aura Cristina Geithner, YouTube celebrity ColiBritany, Julio José Iglesias, Alejandra Ley and Jenni Rivera's brother Gustavo Rivera.
Niurka Marcos, Cynthia Rodriguez Hector and Ese Wey will judge the competitors.
A movie based on Jenni Rivera's life is on the way. Rosie Rivera has been particularly vocal about what she would like the movie to look like. For example, she recently said that she'd want Eugenio Derbez to direct the movie.
She also thinks that there is also one person who can play Jenni Rivera: Chiquis Rivera.
"It can be someone new like with 'Selena," she said in June. "Jennifer was already an actress but the movie helped her, and I know that Jenni would love that. Helping another woman gain exposure, give her a career, open doors would make my sister very happy."
But still, she continues to think of her niece.
"I have thought of Chiquis," she said. "Not only because she looks like her and talks like her, but when you find out who she is a person if you don't already know, you'll see that she is her. Also, Chiquis is very talented."
Rosie Rivera said that so far the family has gotten someone to work on the script, but it seems the project is still some time away.
