The set of photos sent by Vivamax to Manila Standard Entertainment casts a captivating spell, featuring none other than Aljur Abrenica and AJ Raval. The couple, draped in pristine white, entwine on a bed, their bodies locked in an embrace that oozes sensuality and undeniable chemistry.
These images form a tantalizing teaser for their upcoming film, Sugapa, a daring Vivamax Original Movie that challenges love to triumph over all obstacles.
In the heart of this tale are two young souls, bound by love and dreams of a brighter future. The allure of the city beckons them, promising prosperity and success. Ben, portrayed by Aljur, and Anna, brought to life by AJ, stand united in their aspirations, pledging unwavering support for each other. Their journey toward the bustling metropolis is painted with optimism and shared ambition.
But the city’s reality shatters their expectations, hurling them into a maelstrom of challenges that test the very foundation of their love. As they grapple with the complexities of money, desire, addiction, obsession, and the thirst for power, the question looms large: will their sacrifices be rewarded? Can their love weather the storm, or will their paths diverge?
According to AJ, she and Aljur worked closely together while filming Sugapa, “Everything became easy for me because AJ was my partner here. I didn’t feel awkward at all, even in the intimate scenes, because I was comfortable with Aljur being with me.”
She also mentioned that they were able to perform th e love scenes perfectly with the guidance of their director.
Helmed by Lawrence Fajardo, renowned for his pulse-pounding creations like A Hard Day and Reroute, Sugapa promises a rollercoaster of emotions, punctuated by heart-pounding sequences.
Completing the cast are Art Acuña, Lander Vera Perez, Lou Veloso, and Dyessa Garcia. Sugapa streams exclusively on Vivamax on August 25.
