Ang Manananggal na Nahahati ang Puso star Aubrey Caraan admitted on September 8 she cried during the film’s shooting.
“No’n una, before mag-shooting, umiyak talaga ako sa room ko,” admitted the young star in the film’s virtual press conference.
Apparently, Caraan was super nervous meeting and working with Darryl Yap on a movie.
“Kasi sobra yung kaba, yung takot, kasi first time kong mami-meet si direk.”
The young talent replaced Nadine Lustre in the movie, which she could not believe at first.
“Hindi pa talaga pumapasok sa’kin yung fact na ako yung isa sa mga lead dito sa pelikula ni Direk Darryl.”
Although overwhelmed with emotions and doubts, Caraan revealed how the director helped her throughout the movie’s production.
“And nung nakilala ko si Direk, super nice, super fun. Working with Direk Darryl ‘pag nasa set, sobrang light lang. Hindi ko na-feel yung pressure and every scene, lagi akong gina-guide ni Direk.”
She also expressed her gratitude to Yap for being patient with her.
“Super thankful din ako kay Direk dahil patient s’ya sa’kin. Kasi may mga eksena na nahirapan ako. Pero si Direk naging patient s’ya at inalalayan ako sa bawat eksena.”
Caraan entered showbiz at the young age of 10 years old. She started in ABS-CBN’s show Pinoy Dream Academy: Little Dreamers. But, after two years of being a Kapamilya, the artist decided to take her talents to Viva.
There she was given the opportunity to be part of its girl group, Pop Girls after Nadine Lustre and Shy Carlos went solo.
Being part of Viva, Caraan landed supporting roles on the shows of Viva TV and Sari-Sari channel. After almost twelve years of doing minor roles, including Squad Goals, Hopeless Romantic, and Indak, she finally landed her first title role in Ang Manananggal na Nahahati ang Puso.
“Ito na yung time, yung big break na hinihintay ko. I’m very thankful sa Viva, sa mga bosses ko, of course kay Direk Darryl. Dahil nagtiwala sila sa’kin para ibigay yung character ni Junniper para magampanan ko s’ya. “ she said.
