Dawn happy to be paired with Bossing

Although in the past Dawn Zulueta has starred opposite Vic Sotto playing Faye on hit sitcom “Okay Ka, Fairy Ko,” they haven’t worked together in a movie. So imagine her excitement when she was offered to team up with Bossing in “Meant To Beh,” an official entry to this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

“That’s the reason ‘Meant To Beh’ is very special to me. Aside from being my first big screen collaboration with Bossing, it is also my first time to be directed by Chris Martinez. And also my first time to be working with Daniel Matsunaga, JC Santos, Gabbi Garcia, Ruru Madrid and Baby Baste. I’m really excited!” Dawn exclaimed.

A light comedy, Dawn considers “Meant To Beh” a “breather,” since it is the first time she is starring in a comic role. “Alam niyo naman that since the start of my career, it’s always been dramatic roles that I was playing. Ngayon lang talaga ako nag-comedy kahit light lang kasi it’s about family life, there’s still drama and seriousness in it.”

On landing in the Top 3 slots in the MMFF 2017, Dawn admits they face big competition against the Coco Martin, Vice Ganda and Jennylyn Mercado movies.

“The pressure of landing in the Top 3 is a big challenge. But I’m confident with our offering. I think we’re the only family-oriented entry to the festival which is good. I’m sure the viewing public will not only enjoy the film but will pick up some valuable lessons from its various themes,” Dawn said.

Vic also has high hopes for their entry, where he is directed also for the first time by Chris. “It’s a pleasure to experience a movie with new direction and new storytelling,” Vic said. “Magaling siyang maglatag ng istorya sa big screen. Maraming nagandahan sa trailer ng movie, but it doesn’t do justice to the whole story. I take my hat off to Chris Martinez.”
