Enrique Gil out of his comfort zone for ‘Dukot’

MANILA, Philippines – A new Enrique Gil will be seen in his upcoming film “Dukot.”

The Kapamilya actor said he went out of his comfort zone for this film. He’s done comedy, drama and romantic comedy but has never done an action film.

Some of the films he has done before are “The Reunion,” “She’s the One” and “Just the Way You Are.”

“I want to try something new na hindi ko pa nagagawa before,” he said about accepting the project, during the film’s press conference on Saturday. “No’ng na-pitch sa akin ang movie, slideshow pa lang, first page sinabi ko, 'sige, gagawin ko.’”

His director Paul Soriano during an interview in “Tonight with Boy Abunda” described him as a “hungry actor,” being surprised himself of the performance that Enrique has given in the film.

Reacting to this Enrique said, “Siguro po kasi it’s my first time to do something else, especially action.”

This film, he admitted, has gave him a brand new experience especially he’s currently working on the primetime TV series “Dolce Amore” with love team Liza Soberano.

“You will learn a lot from different things, with other great actors,” he explained. “Bago lahat ‘to, e, iba ang vibe ng show. So na-enjoy ko lahat. I wanted to learn.”

Also part of the film are Shaina Magdayao, Ricky Davao, Christopher de Leon and Alex Medina. It’ll be in theaters on July 13.
