Former Viva Films premiere talent Sharon Cuneta has promised Mother Lily Monteverde that she will do a movie for Regal Entertainment. This is Megastar's way of showing her appreciation to the Regal matriarch for supporting her husband's senatorial bid.
Nag-commit na angMegastar na si Sharon Cuneta na gumawa ng isang pelikula sa Regal Entertainment.
When she was starting in the business more than two decadesago, it was unthinkable for the premiere Viva talent to do a movie with RegalFilms—Viva and Regal being the biggest competitors during the heyday of local moviesin the ‘80s.
This has changed though. Bagama’t nananatiling one of the busiest filmoutfits pa rin ang kumpanya ni Mother Lily Monteverde, lie-low na and mostlydigital movies na lang ang ginagawa ng kumpaya ni Vic del Rosario, now beingmanaged by his daughter Veronique del Rosario-Corpus.
Ang Megastar naman, mostly under StarCinema na ang mga movies niya, ang film arm ng kaniyang television home station, ang ABS-CBN.
During the 2004 elections, isa sa mga ikinampanya ni MotherLily si Kiko Pangilinan, asawa ng Megastar, for the senatorial race. Nanalo siKiko. This year, kakandidato muli si Kiko for senator at nakuha na naman niya ang suporta ng Regal matriarch.
Super-touch ang Megastar sa gesture ni Mother Lily na suportahan ang kanyang asawa kung kaya’t nag-commit siya na for thefirst time, gagawa siya ng isang pelikula sa Regal Entertainment.
Bagama’t this year ang commitment, medyo mahihirapan langsiguro si Megastar dahil as it is, committed din siya to do several movies.Dalawa ang nakatakda niyang gawin for Star Cinema na ang isa ay may out of the countrysequences, one and possibly two for GMA Films na ang isa naman ay from aPalanca award-winning script, and still another one from Unitel Productions.
If ever matuloy matuloy naman ang planong ito, nagbabalak ang Regal ng isang festivalmovie for the Megastar—malamang ang sixth installment ng Mano Po.
