ROMAN PEREZ, JR., the most prolific Vivamax cult director who did certified streaming hits like “Taya”, “House Tour”, “Siklo”, “Hugas”, “Putahe” and the ten-episode series “Iskandalo”, says he was so surprised when he read that his signature star, AJ Raval, is pregnant.
The scuttlebutt is that AJ was impregnated by Aljur Abrenica, who is now separated from wifey Kylie Padilla, and because of this, Vivamax is no longer giving her any new projects. Direk Roman refutes this.
“Right now, ginagawa ni AJ para sa akin ang action-dramang ‘Sitio Diablo’,” says Direk Roman. “Kapareha niya rito for the first time si Kiko Estrada. Kasama rin sina Benz Sangalang, Ruby Ruiz and Pio Valbuena.
"Marami siyang action scenes dito at siya mismo ang gumagawa ng kanyang stunts and fight routines, na hindi niya magagawa kung buntis siya.”
And right after “Sitio Diablo”, Direk Roman says AJ has a follow up project right away.
“Yes,magsasama naman sila ng isa pang Vivamax hottie, si Angeli Khang, for the first time sa isang pelikula, directed by Jules Katanyag, then babalik siya sa akin for still another project. So she remains very, very busy.”
Direk Roman has also just finished shooting “Ang Babaeng Nawawala sa Sarili”, an erotic thriller that’s a reimagining of a 1989 Dina Bonnevie movie.
The new version stars Ayanna Misola in the title role, with Diego Loyzaga, Adrian Alandy and Mon Confiado as her leading men. This will start streaming on Viva on July 15.
Aside from this, he is also busy shooting the horror movie “Kaluskos” starring Coleen Garcia.
This is currently being shot on location in an old house in Silay City, Negros Occidental.
