MANILA, Philippines - Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson have already started shooting for their first film together but she still feels nervous about their team-up.
“May konting kaba," she admitted on "The Buzz," Jan. 23. "Ipinagdadasal ko na lang na sana matanggap nila na ito ay trabaho lang.”
Sarah was referring to the Kimerald fans, who have threatened Gerald in the past that they won't support him if he is paired with anyone but Kim Chiu.
The pop star has been reported to have received hate mails from fans following the announcement of her team-up with Gerald.
Coming from two successful blockbuster movies with John Lloyd Cruz (“A Very Special Love” and “You Changed My Life”), Sarah feels pressured by the comparison that her team-up with Gerald will make.
“Siyempre lahat kami kinakabahan dahil successful ‘yung previous movies [namin ni Gerald] at may comparison. Pero hindi naman namin ma-e-enjoy ito kung iisipin ang pressure,” added Sarah.
Meanwhile, Gerald dispels comparison between Kim Chiu and Sarah Geronimo. “They’re very good on what they do. Si Sarah napakabait at tahimik lang din,” he said.
Gerald expressed his gratitude to Kimeralds even though his team up with Kim needs to rest for awhile. “Salamat talaga sa Kimerald [fans] na nandiyan pa rin kahit di kami magkasama [ni Kim].”
Serving as third wheel to the new team up is Matteo Guidicelli, who incidentally was rumored to have wooed Sarah. (report from Jecelyn V. Macahindog, Manila Bulletin)
