Aminado ang aktres na si Heaven Peralejo na wala talaga siyang qualms pagdating sa mga eksena nila ni Ian Veneracion para sa suspense-thriller movie na "Nanahimik Ang Gabi" na kasali sa Metro Manila Film Festival ngayong taon.

Nagpaliwanag naman sina Ian at Heaven sa tema ng "Nanahimik Ang Gabi" kung saan first time magpapaka-daring si Heaven bilang "sugar baby" ng karakter ni Ian na isa namang "sugar daddy".

Ayon kay Heaven, wala siyang pakialam kung tawagin siyang sexy actress dahil sa bago niyang movie.

"If I am sexy, I don't mind being called a sexy actress. People are just giving a malicious intent on the word sexy, but why can't women be sexy? If they call me that, then at least I'm convinced that my portrayal worked," sabi ng dalaga.

Depensa naman ni Ian, "Hindi point ng movie ang magpa-sexy, it's just part of the characterization. What's important is the storytelling. The scary or sexy parts are just by-products of the whole story, not the main point."

Pahayag pa ni Heaven, may rason kung bakit niya tinanggap ang nasabing project.

"Some members of this generation find the idea of being a Sugar Baby appealing because it lets them lead a glamorous life. The film sends a message that being a sugar baby has its consequences. Every choice you make in life has its consequences, whether it's good or bad. I told myself that I want to be part of this film that is thought-provoking," sabi ni Heaven.

Mismong ang producer ng pelikula na si Lino Cayetano ng Rein Entertaiment ang nagsabi na this early ay pinaplano na ang sequel o prequel ng kanilang official entry sa Metro Manila Film Festival 2022.

Sey pa ni Direk Lino, umaasa sila na magsisilbing "catalyst" ang "Nanahimik Ang Gabi" at ang pito pang entry para sa revival ng Philippine movie industry matapos ang COVID-19 pandemic.

"We'll wait for the box-office (results), but we're already talking about a follow-up with Direk Shugo. The movie's too good and it deserves a part 2 or part 3," ani Direk Lino na todo ang pasalamat sa press people na nagsusulat ng magaganda tungkol sa kanilang pelikula.
