Why are Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo fit for an action series ‘Sanggang Dikit FR'? Director answers
When Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo were announced to topbill action series, 'Sanggang Dikit FR,' audiences were pleasantly surprised.
It was a step away from their usual dramas and romance projects, and comedic TikTok videos, after all.
At the media conference for the upcoming series, director LA Madridejos said that the married Kapuso couple fit for the project because, 'DenJen na 'yan eh. Kahit anong genre malagay, mag-fa-fly 'yan.'
Direk LA added, 'Pero ang lamang kasi nila is hindi sila natatakot mag-experiment dun sa iba't ibang genre.'
Apart from being able to make people happy with whatever they present, Direk LA, said DenJen also has the ability to make scenes light, which is needed for the series.
'Magkasama na sila sa bahay and yet, hindi nila nakakalimutan pagusapan 'yung mga eksena kung pano nila gagawin. Ganun ka-professional 'tong mga 'to.'
Jennylyn and Dennis also opted to do their own stunts, Direk LA said.
'Nire-require lang namin lagi may double. Pero kung pwedeng sila 'yung gumawa, hindi nila [hahayaan]. Kami na 'yung umaawat sa kanila,' he said. 'Ang sarap katrabaho nung ganun eh, lalo na sa gantong genre.'
In 'Sanggang-Dikit FR,' Jennylyn Mercado stars as Roberta "Bobby" Enriquez, a bubbly yet highly competitive police woman. Dennis Trillo plays Antonio "Tonyo" Guerrero, a skilled policeman who loves to improvise when solving crimes.
Both burdened by personal losses, Bobby and Tony are brought together when a high-profile murder happens involving people who are very close to them.
In February, Jennylyn and Dennis went target shooting in preparation for the project.
Jennylyn started shooting for the series the same month and admitted that she felt the jitters, adding physical scenes are a challenge.
'Sanggang-Dikit FR' premieres on June 23 at 8:50 p.m. on GMA Prime. The series is set to shoot scenes in Europe and the United Arab Emirates. — LA, GMA Integrated News
