Coco Martin is expecting also to have a fun shooting with Vice Ganda, whom he consider as his best friend. He also said that the project is very special to him because it’s their first collaboration.
“Expected na namin [na magiging magaan ang pagtatrabaho namin]. Itong movie na ‘to, napaka espesyal sa amin kasi ‘yung collaboration, nanggaling sa aming dalawa ‘yung konsepto,” he said.
According to the 33-year-old actor, the upcoming film will open in theaters this year. The director and the producer of the movie was not yet announced, however.
