MANILA – Entrusted with his biggest acting role to date, Enrique Gil vowed to do his best in the upcoming primetime series “Muling Buksan Ang Puso.”
In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Wednesday, Gil said he has yet to get the hang of his new character as it is far from the one that he played in “Princess and I.”
“Character-wise, ang dami kasing emotions sa ‘Princess and I.’ Pero ito it’s more of kalaban niya sarili niya kaysa sa kalaban niya 'yung ibang tao. It’s me eh. Kaya ko ito pero baka hindi kaya ng katawan ko. Pero 'yung will ko, gusto kong gawin ito. It’s more of kalaban ko ang sarili ko dito,” he explained.
Gil said he is grateful that his co-stars and directors are guiding him well to properly deliver his role.
“Kinakapa ko pa. Kasi nung first taping, sila direk, ‘Too much, huwag muna too much emotion.’ Eh wala pa akong pinapakita, so kinakapa ko pa. It’s tricky kasi sa mata ng director. Pero okay naman siya, you get the hang of it,” he said.
Asked what he is most excited about in this new show, Gil said: “Gusto ko ibalik sa tao 'yung like ‘Walang Hanggan’ or like what ‘Princess and I’ gave. Yung tipong ine-enjoy nila 'yung show, hindi lang pinapanood. They are part of the show.”
Gil will be acting opposite Julia Montes in “Muling Buksan Ang Puso,” which is set to premiere during ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida block on July 8.
The series, which centers on the themes of forgiveness and second chances, also stars Enchong Dee as well as showbiz veterans Susan Roces, Dante Rivero and Pilar Pilapil, Agot Isidro, Jestoni Alarcon and Cherie Gil.
