Vilma Santos “Threatened” Aga Muhlach To Accept ‘Uninvited’ Movie
Vilma Santos and Aga Muhlach have a big screen reunion
Star for all Season Vilma Santos shared that she threatened seasoned actor Aga Muhlach to accept the movie Uninvited.
The film is part of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2024. During a recent media conference for this move, based on the article in GMA Entertainment, Vilma and Aga were asked why it took three decades for them to have a reunion project.
They first worked together in 1992 for the movie Sinungaling Mong Puso and this was followed by the film Nag-iisang Bituin in 1994.

Vilma Santos shared that the first actor who came into her mind for this project was Aga Muhlach. “Of course, alam namin na hindi madali yung istorya ng Uninvited. Initially, ang tawag pa nga namin dito, Project Red. Noong ni-layout na nila ang istoya, hindi talaga madali at talagang importante yung mga characters doon sa mga movie para maging epektibo,” she shared.
She shared that when Aga called her to confirm the news that they would do a movie together, she said that he must accept this.

“Tapos, sabi ko, ‘Oo, Aga, tanggapin mo dahil kung hindi, isosoli ko na yung kandila bilang ninang ni [Charlene Gonzalez] sa kasal.’ Sabi ko, ‘Kapag hindi mo tinanggap ‘to, ibabalik ko na yung kandila ninyo ni Charlene.’ Kasi, ninanng nila ako sa kasal, ‘Kaya tanggapin mo na ito dahil gusto na kitang bakbakan.’ Doon nag-umpisa yun. Now, ito na, tapos na yung pelikula namin,” Vilma said in jest.
Aga shared that it was easy for him to accept this project. There was no way for him to turn down the project that was offered. It was just that he wanted to call Vilma first. The actor also said that there was no need for the actress to say anything because he was just waiting for this time. He’s happy to have done this movie and it is with Vilma Santos.
