“Sacha will have an almost uncanny resemblance to Philip and those close to the producers believes it's more than a nod to him. He'll look more portly, with balding grey hair which is left long at the back.
“The transformation will mean nobody will realise it's Sacha, meaning he'll be able to get up to his old tricks again,” a source said.
The film is being directed by British filmmaker Michael Winterbotton.
