In a recent interview, based on the article in GMA Entertainment, the actor shared that he easily fell in love with the story. “To be honest, nung piniresent sa akin ‘yung story, sabi ko na I have to do it, I really have to do it,” Paolo Contis shared. However, he said that while they were doing the movie, he did not think of things like it is going to be a hit and it will be big.

On the other hand, although he did not say that it will be a hit, during the preview, he burst a comment saying “Napakaganda!” The actor added that, after all, it is their goal to create a beautiful movie and they are somehow hoping that it will be a hit.

“And I’m very blessed that we were number one right away. Then, kumbaga validation lang ‘yun na tama ‘yung ginawa namin, sulit ang pinagpaguran namin, lahat ng bagyong inabot namin. Lahat ng nginig namin sa Faroe Islands. Sulit lahat!” he said.
