Aljur Abrenica excited to work with Bong Revilla in Indio

ALJUR ABRENICA is just being candid when he said he felt sad when he didn’t have any new show after “Coffee Prince” that ran only for 8 weeks.
“Normal namang yung magtampo, di ba?” he says. “But now, happy na ko kasi nilatag naman ng GMA ang plans nila for me in 2013 and I’m pleased with it. Una nga ang pagkasama ko sa cast ng ‘Indio’ starting this week. It’s an honor for me kasi fan ako ni Sen. Bong Revilla at ng action films niya, most of which I was able to watch bago pa ko nag-join ng showbiz.”

In “Indio”, he portrays Bagandi, the datu of a small banwa. “I underwent workshops and physical training for the role. Pinaghandaan ko talaga ito dahil kailangang makipagsabayan ako sa mga malalaking artistang kasama rito sa ‘Indio’.”

Who is Bagandi in Simeon/Indio’s life? Will he be a friend or foe? “Magiging allies kami ni Sen. Bong dito. Abangan nyo dahil maraming action scenes na very thrilling talaga ang execution ni Direk Dondon Santos. Napasama rin ako noon sa ‘Amaya’, another costume epic, pero mas matindi ang role ko rito kasi kasama raw ako hanggang ending. Iniba pati ang costume ko rito kaysa sa ‘Amaya’. Pati ako, excited talaga sa participation ko rito sa ‘Indio’.”
