Cast
editBackground
editIn 2023, Ganda was supposed to do a project with The IdeaFirst Company originally scheduled for a 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival release but was postponed due to scheduling conflict.[6] In early 2024, Ganda teased regarding a collaboration project with award-winning director Jun Lana during co-actors Gladys Reyes and Cristopher Roxas anniversary celebration.[7] On April 18, 2024, Ganda posted a "new movie alert" teaser on her social media pages. On April 19, 2024, Director Lana joined Ganda on the noontime show It's Showtime to announce the title of the film. This is the first time Ganda will be directed by Lana.[1] According to Ganda, it is an honor for him to collaborate with a director whom he has long admired.[3] Lana is known for his award-winning directing and writing works for the films Barber's Tales (2013), Die Beautiful (2016), Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes (2018) and About Us But Not About Us (2022).[3][8][9][10]
Jhong Hilario, notable for his co-hosting duties on It's Showtime, has been announced as part of the film and expressed gratitude towards Ganda for extending the opportunity citing the television series Ang Probinsyano as his last significant acting venture.[1] The movie also served as his reunion with Lana, having worked previously together in two movies directed by the late Marilou Diaz-Abaya, Sa Pusod ng Dagat and Jose Rizal , where Lana served as writer and Hilario as cast member for the two films.
