MANILA, Philippines – Vice Ganda admitted that there is “pressure” in the upcoming 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival.

“Lagi naman may pressure, dapat ay pressure, kailangan i-entertain mo ang threat,” he said in a recent interview.
However, he pointed out that this shouldn’t affect how he performs in the movie.
“You have to handle threat positively,” he explained. “Dapat 'yong threat na 'yon maging reason para galingan mo, paghusayan mo lalo, para panindigan mo ang dapat mo panindigan. Hindi 'yon dapat maging dahilan para matakot ka, lamunin ka ng nerbyos lamang.”
The director of the film, Wenn Deramas, promised the viewers that “hindi kami nag-ulit o [hindi] luma ang comedy na makikita dito, ‘yong action may tight shot, may wide shot na makikita ninyong sila talaga ‘yong winawasiwas sa helicopter, at ‘yong talon ni Vice mula sa helicopter walang daya.”
“Ayaw namin dayain ‘yong tao dahil hindi rin naman daya ‘yong bayad nila sa amin,” he added.
Vice also said that if there’s any competition for his upcoming film that will be his last film, “The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin” which was also an entry for MMFF last year.
“Kampante po ako,” he said when asked if he’s confident about the success of his upcoming film. “Kasi record ko rin naman ang kalaban ko.”

“Tsaka unang-una I really claim it na bobongga ito, malaki ang kikitain nito, na nagkakatotoo naman,” he added. “Kasi magkakkilalang-magkakilala kami ni Lord. Hindi iya ako pine-fail, hindi niya ako pinapahiya. Sobra ang trust ko sa kanya kaya sobra kong kampante.”
“Beauty and the Bestie” also stars Coco Martin, James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Marco Masa, Alonzo Muhlach, MC Calaquian and Lassy.
