Young actor Martin del Rosario will be having his first lead role in a teleserye via Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Pintada. Martin del Rosario will be playing leading man to PHR veteran, Denise Laurel.
In an interview during the promo shoot for Pintada last May 29, Martin shared his excitement of topbilling a show and working with a love team for the first time. He also shared a bit of the plot of Pintada, which will be dealing with a high school student falling in love with his teacher.
"Ang sarap magtrabaho kapag leading man na. Very interesting 'yung role at first time ko rin na magkaroon ng ka-love team sa drama. Ilang years na ako sa ABS-CBN pero wala pa akong nagiging ka-love team. Ang swerte ko kasi first time tapos si Denise Laurel pa. Hindi ba totoo namang nangyayari 'yung high school student tapos magkaka-crush ka sa teacher? So kahit medyo nine-nerbyos ako, excited ako for the role,” Martin said.
PHR series usually require daring scenes but Martin said that he is ready to delve into the role even though this will be the first time that he will have a kissing scene for a series.
“First time ko magki-kissing scene. Si Denise naman nakailang 'Precious Hearts Romance' na siya, so tutulungan din niya ako. At saka siyempre kaya ko din naman. Ilalagay ko lang sarili ko sa character. Okay sa akin kahit anong sabihin ni direk. Kasi TV naman ito so may limitation pa rin,” he said.
PBB alum Yen Santos and Angelito: Batang Ama cast member Lemuel Pelayo will also join PHR Pintada. Eslove Briones is also a member of the cast. This new Precious Hearts Romances series will be under the unit of Direk Lauren Dyogi.
