Piolo Pascual wants to be in more meaningful films

At this point in time, Piolo Pascula is keener in making more substantial films and doesn’t think much of the box-office performance of his films.

The Kapamilya actor believes that he has been in this business for so long that he had already paid his dues, so to speak.

“Over the years, there were hits and misses. I’ve made commercial hits and bombs as well. It’s like I already went full circle, right? As of now, I just want to make meaningful movies regardless of their box-office potential,” says 38-year-old actor.

This is the reason why Piolo makes time for indie projects like Silong and Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis under the helm of critically-acclaimed directors Jeffrey Jeturian and Lav Diaz, respectively.

“I have no great expectations for these projects, box-office-wise. They’re not even intended to sweep trophies come next awards season. But I loved doing them. I guess that’s the important thing.”

For PJ, as long as he knows he did his best, it’s more than enough.

“Yes! If you know that you did your share, like in the promo, there’s nothing to worry about anymore. As I’ve said earlier, I don’t want to be affected by box-office pressure anymore. Whatever the outcome is, at least, you know for yourself that you did your share…that you were a good team player,” he explains.

He further relates that at the end of the day, movie workers also want their movie to earn. After all, it’s still business.

“But to carry the sole responsibility of turning the film into a mammoth hit is always scary. So these days, I just want to be spared from that concern. Being a good team player would be my greatest contribution to the project’s over-all success if ever,” Piolo asserts.

Speaking of projects, the award-winning Kapamilya star is aware of the public clamor for his reunion movie with Judy Ann Santos considering that their last was in the 2006 movie Don’t Give Up On Us.

“It’s been awhile already. But on my part, there’s no problem. I guess it’s our schedules. One thing more, the project must be different, something that would really interest the viewers. We can’t make the typical romantic comedies we used to do then. It has to be concept-driven,” ends Piolo.

Ruffa Gutierrez says it's all right with her to work with ex-boyfriend Zoren Legaspi

According to Ruffa Gutierrez, there is no big deal if one of these days, she’d do a project with former boyfriend Zoren Legaspi.

“That’s right! I think that’s a pretty cool idea. Honestly, I don’t see any problem with that if ever. Zoren and I have already worked a lot of times in the past and it’s always a pleasure collaborating with him on screen. The two of us have good working relationship. One more thing, his wife Carmina (Villarroel) and I are good friends so, everything’s okay,” she avers.

Apart from Zoren, the former beauty queen is also open to doing future films or TV shows with some of her former leading men including Richard Gomez, Aga Muhlach and Vice Ganda.

Will Zoren Legaspi accept an offer with ex Ruffa Gutierrez?

Asked if she is okay working with John Lloyd Cruz with whom she was romantically linked years ago, Ruffa quickly answers, “Yes! It will also be interesting to do a project opposite Lloydie again. He’s a good actor.”

Will she be ready to face controversies again concerning the two of them once this pushes through?

Well, she says intrigues will always be there and they’re inevitable. And she believes that they have been in business for so long enough for them to get used to rumors and intrigues.
