“Malaking-malaki ang pagkakaiba nito. Iba ang atake ni Jun Lana [sa paggawa ng pelikula]. Malayong-malayo siya but it’s going to be an amazing surprise. Hindi talaga siya ng mga nagawa kong pelikula. Positive ako na magugustuhan ito ng audience,” he said.

Vice Ganda admitted that there is pressure for the film to do well. He then clarified that it’s more of a happy kind of pressure since he’s excited to be part of the annual film festival’s fanfare.

“Siyempre, may pressure. Pero masayang pressure. Kasi ang excitement na mapapanood ito sa sinehan, ang excitement na makapag-parade ulit. Ang daming bagay na worth looking forward to this coming Christmas,” he said.
