Following the wrap of 'Mommy Dearest,' Katrina Halili wastes no time diving into her next project, joining fellow StarStruck graduate Jennylyn Mercado in 'Sanggang-Dikit FR.'
Katrina Halili is making a swift return to the screen, following the recent conclusion of her GMA Afternoon Prime series Mommy Dearest.
She is joining the cast of Sanggang-Dikit FR, reuniting with her fellow StarStruck graduate Jennylyn Mercado in a much-anticipated comeback.
As reported by Aubrey Carampel on 24 Oras Friday, Katrina is set to take on intense action scenes in the series, her first time tackling such a role since playing Romana in “Black Rider.”
“Parang first time ko makatrabaho ulit si Jen kasi last na work namin is 2004. Sabi ko nga sa kanya kanina eh. So ayun, na-excite naman ako kasi super close ko 'yun eh,” Katrina said.
Jennylyn feels the same way, having not shared a scene with Katrina in more than 20 years.
“Lagi lang kaming nagchikahan sa phone pero hindi kami nagkikita, ni hindi kami nakakalabas. Hindi kami nakakapag-bonding dalawa kasama 'yung mga bata. Kasi inaanak ko rin si Katie eh, tapos inaanak niya naman si Jazz,” Jennylyn said.
"Abangan niyo kung ano 'yung magiging role ni Katrina Halili, kung paano niya ishe-shake ang buong presinto namin,” Jennylyn added
“Kung gaano kami ka-close sa personal, dito naman, hindi talaga. Parang matindi talaga 'yung galit ko sa kanya. Masama loob ko,” Katrina said.
The actresses shared that it was difficult to keep a straight face during their first scene together, thanks to their long-standing friendship.
“Nakatitig ako sa kaniya. Natatawa ako kasi 'pag nag-uusap kami no'n, comedy talaga,” Katrina said.
Dennis Trillo also shared his excitement over the introduction of new characters, adding more star power to the series.
“Mas nagiging exciting 'yung kwento sa pagpasok ng mga bagong characters. Siyempre 'yung mga bagong characters, magagaling na artista rin. Bukod kay Katrina, nandiyan si Buboy, si Mikee, si Ji Soo,” he said.
Viewers can also look forward to international adventures, with upcoming scenes filmed in Dubai, Milan, and Switzerland.
Sanggang-Dikit FR is a buddy-cop series inspired by the vibe of classic '80s action films.
It airs weeknights on GMA Prime at 8:50 p.m. after Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre, and is also available on YouTube via the Kapuso Stream.
