AJ RAVAL and Sean de Guzman are together again after their hit Vivamax film, “Taya”.
It’s said that Boss Vic del Rosario himself who said to give them a follow up movie after their tandem clicked with viewers.
This is directed by Roman Perez Jr., the sex and violence guru who also helmed them in “Taya”. So how is it working with each other again?
“Sean and I are now so comfortable working with each other,” says AJ. “This is our third film together after ‘Nerisa’ and ‘Taya’ so sanay na kami sa isa’t isa. Tropa na kami. We even share some secrets, pero friends lang kami talaga.
"But when we do love scenes in ‘Hugas’, para talagang nandun yung love between us, makikita nyo. ‘Hugas’ is actually an action movie kaya dream come true ito for me kasi noon ko pa talaga sinasabing I want to do action, yung bumabaril may fight scenes. O heto ngayon, ibinigay na and I’m so thankful.”
“Kami ni AJ, sobrang gaan na ng loob namin sa isa’t isa and we’re so relaxed na sa isa’t isa,” says Sean. “Even sa sex scenes, di na kami naiilang.
"Wala na kaming pakialam kahit magkakitaan na kami ng iba’t ibang parte ng aming katawan. Gaya ni AJ, I like this film kasi it’s action and I’m glad to be given the chance to do this. But I also want to try other genres, like serious drama and be recognized for my acting.”
If he’d do serious films, will he stop doing sexy films?
“Hindi naman. Basta kailangan sana sa eksena at hinihingi ng story, I wil still do sexy scenes.”
How is it working with Direk Roman Perez again after “Taya”?
“It’s nice to work with him kasi very friendly siya. He treats you as a family on the set. Hindi siya tipong nampe-pressure. Kalmado lang in explaining kung ano ang gusto niyang gawin mo sa eksena.”
How would he describe the passing year 2021? “Okay siya for me kasi kahit pandemic, andami kong nagawang pelikula. Sana magtuloy-tuloy up to next year.”
How about AJ?
“Maraming nangyari sakin sa 2021. Andami ko ring nagawang movies. Pero andami ring intriga, so yung mga pangit and negative na nangyari, iiwanan ko na.
"But I learned a lot of lessons from them, like to practice more self love, self improvement. Ako, iiwas na sa sobrang pagiging active sa social media para makaiwas sa negativity ng bashers.
"Gusto kong mas ma-recognize ako for my acting, hindi lang sa pagpapa-sexy. I hope there will be less controversies and we’ll have more positivity in 2022.”
