Sarah’s ‘Miss Granny’ challenge

After her successful concert tour in the US, and in celebration of her 15th anniversary in show business, Pop Royalty Sarah Geronimo is back on the big screen via Viva Films’ newest release, the drama comedy, “Miss Granny.”

Co-starring with Multimedia Prince James Reid and Kapamilya Heartthrob Xian Lim, under the direction of certified hit maker Bb. Joyce Bernal, “Miss Granny” is based on the worldwide South Korean blockbuster film released in 2014.

Topbilled by Eun Kyung Shim and Moon He Na, the movie bagged several prestigious awards and has had similarly successful adaptations in China, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Germany and other countries.

“Miss Granny” follows the tale of 70-year-old pensioner Fely (played by veteran actress Nova Villa), who magically transforms

back to her 20-year-old self (portrayed by Geronimo) after having her picture taken in a mysterious photo studio.

In an interview, Geronimo admitted being challenged by the role of Fely.

“May tumutulong po sa akin na acting coach. Kasi, siyempre, ang nuances of a woman in her 70s, medyo iba sa galaw ng 20s. Siyempre, medyo matagal na

iyong huling acting project ko, so challenging din for me (An acting coach helped me. Of course the nuances of a woman in her 70s are different from how a woman in her 20s moves. Of course, my last acting project was a while ago, so this is also challenging for me).”

The 30-year-old singer was last seen in the hit romantic comedy “Finally Found Someone” last year—her reunion project with John Lloyd Cruz.

“Miss Granny” opens nationwide on Aug. 22.
