TUWING may bagong role sa TV ang Kapuso actor na si Kiko Estrada, sobra niya kung paghandaan ito.
Tulad na lang ng role na binigay sa kanya sa telefantasya ng GMA-7 na “Mulawin vs. Ravena”, pinaghandaan ni Kiko Estrada ang kanyang role bilang Rafael.
Naglaan ang actor ng ilang buwan sa training para makuha niya ang nire-require na physical na kaanyuhan ng kanyang character.
Sa tulong din ng acting workshop, nabuo niya ang pagiging Rafael na may misteryo ang pagkatao.
Kaya isa raw ito sa pinaka-challenging na roles na ginawa ni Kiko sa TV pagkatapos ng pagbida niya noon sa teleserye na “Sinungaling Mong Puso”.
Sa kanyang Instagram post, pinaliwanag ng Kapuso actor kung ano ang dating ng pagganap niya bilang Rafael sa “Mulawin vs. Ravena”.
“The most challenging role I will portray to date. I know not everyone will understand you, but I do & I believe in you. Rafael, this will be one crazy journey.
“With hate & anger rooted deep in his heart. Denied of a normal life due to an incident when he was young causing his disability. Brainwashed to believe that his best friend was the cause of his misfortune. He turns his back & loses his only friend.
“Now he is dealing with severe manic depression & insecurity like anyone in his situation would be. To make things worse he is deprived of a father’s love & guidance, which is something he longs for the most in life.
“In his desire to know about his father& his roots. His mother hides the truth about his true beginning from him..
With all of that he is at the (coming of age) stage where he is lost in life, trying to find himself.”
Makaka-love triangle ni Kiko ang tambalan nila Derrick Monasterio at Bea Binene sa naturang telefantasya.
