Kapuso actor Dennis Trillo admitted that he almost rejected the lead role offer in the upcoming teleserye Legal Wives because he thought it would be heavy.
After his challenging role in the GMA Network action-drama series Cain at Abel, Dennis wished to have a lighter project after it. So, when Legal Wives was offered to him, he was hesitant at first.
“Ineexpect ko na makuhang show, yung light lang, parang romcom na style, ganun yung ineexpect ko and ganun sana yung nirequest ko dahil nga siguro napagod ako sa dati.
“So, medyo nagduda ko hindi dahil sa potential ng show, kung hindi baka hindi ko kayanin dahil medyo mabigat yung role.”
But when he tried to understand the project’s story, he realized that he can do it and should not waste the opportunity to be part of it.
“Pero nung binasa ko ulit ang script, medyo naintindihan ko. Tapos narin yung mga briefings namin, nakapagmeeting na kame, narealize ko na walang dahilan para tanggihan yung ganitong kagandang proyekto.”
Dennis pointed out the powerful story of Legal Wives and assured the viewers that they wouldl learn many lessons from it.
“Maganda yung kwento niya, maganda yung mensahe niya sa mga manonood, maganda yung mga aral na mapupulot dito.
“So, gusto kong maging parte ng ganitong klaseng show para at least magamit yung mga boses namin para maparating yung mga mensaheng yun sa ating mga viewers.”
Legal Wives is one of the highly-anticipated upcoming teleseryes of the GMA Network as it will be the first Muslim-themed series on TV.
It is about a Muslim man, played by Dennis, who will be having multiple partners, who are played by Bianca Umali, Andrea Torres, and Alice Dixson.
Legal Wives will kick off on free TV starting July 26.
