Barbie Forteza shares why 'Kara Mia' is the most challenging project she's ever had

Barbie Forteza shared why "Kara Mia" is the most challenging project she has ever had.

In Conversations with GMA News, Barbie sat with her co-star and boyfriend Jak Roberto, and said shooting "Kara Mia" was physically demanding, recalling the fight scene with co-star Mika dela Cruz on the overpass might be one of the hardest scenes they had to shoot. 

"So far, ang pinakamahirap na nagawa naming eksena ni Mika, 'yong sa overpass. Napakahirap kasi buong araw namin siyang kinunan, nag-call time kami ng alas-otso, natapos kami ng ala-sais ng gabi," Barbie shared.

"Para lang d'on sa eksenang 'yon. Sobrang patience, effort and team work din talaga ng buong production from the director, director of photography, 'yong ilaw, 'yong set, kami ni Mika, tutok lahat. Kaya bravo, love it!" she added.

Barbie also said there were even times where she had to carry Mika on her back for a scene.

"Kami naman ni Mika, napaka-technical. May mga times na hindi kami puwede gumalaw, may mga times na pasan-pasan ko si Mika kasi may kailangang shot na ganon," Barbie narrated.

But while "Kara Mia" is her most challenging project yet, it is also one she is most proud of.

"Ito 'yong pinaka-challenging and I think 'eto 'yong pinakaproud ako so far," she said.

"Nagku-kwento nga si Jak, dito namin matututunan na maging independent bilang aktor kasi nga may mga shot na ulo lang 'yong ka-eksena nila walang mukha...'yong ikaw mismo 'yong magtatrabaho para sa sarili mo," Barbie added.

The lead actors of the series, Barbie, Jak, Mika and Paul Salas had to take acting workshops to ace their roles.

Kara Mia is set to premiere on GMA-7 on February 18. — LA, GMA News
