And why did Wenn pick her? “Kasi ahas siya,” the director quips. “Anak-anakan ko siya, dahil I was her first director sa TV. The role of Galema is not easy. Unang requirement, kailangan maganda siya. E maganda naman talaga si Andi, parang Barbie doll, di ba? At nang idirek ko siya sa ‘Kahit Puso’y Masugatan’, nakita kong ready siya kahit anong ipagawa ko sa kanya. So naging personal choice ko siya as Galema.”
“It’s really a difficult role,” adds Andi. “Physically, mahirap kasi may mga ahas ngang animatronics na nakakabit sa akin. Then challenge din yung character ko kasi ibang-iba sa mga nagawa ko na. Big challenge for me na gawing makulay si Galema at naiiba sa paglalarawan sa kanya sa comics at sa interpretations ng ibang aktres na gumanap na rito before.”
She is reunited with Matteo Guidicelli who was her leading man in her first fantaserye, “Agua Bendita”. How’s it working again together after three years? “It’s nice kasi we’re now more mature. After three years, mas marami na kaming pinagdaanan at mas marami na rin kaming natutuhan sa buhay. I’m really excited to work with him again and also with our co-stars, including Sheryl Cruz as my mother, Sunshine Cruz, Meg Imperial, Carlos Morales, Divina Valencia and Lito Legaspi. Introducing dito si Derick Hubalde in the role of Zuma.”
