Marian Rivera shares behind-the-scenes snaps from ‘Balota’

Marian Rivera’s new movie “Balota” is looking to be an exciting one!

On Facebook, the Kapuso Primetime Queen shared some behind-the-scenes snaps taken from the set of the upcoming Cinemalaya film.

“Balota Bts,” Marian simply wrote in the caption.

In one of the photos, Marian can be seen holding a yellow ballot box together with her fellow teacher. She also shared a photo of her together with her fellow teachers in the movie.

“Balota” follows the story of a land-grabbing tycoon and a former male sexy actor who are locked in a tight race for the mayoral seat of a small town.

Marian will play the role of Emmy, a teacher who serves in the election. Emmy runs into the wilderness with a ballot box, the last copy of the election results, when violence in their town erupts.

The film is written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Kip Oebanda, and will screen at the Cinemalaya Film Festival from Aug. 2 to 11.

Aside from Marian, content creators Sassa Gurl and Esnyr are also part of the cast.

Marian was recently honored at the 72nd Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) Awards, where she and Dingdong Dantes were the recipients of the Bida ng Takilya award for "Rewind."

She is currently starring in her comeback series, “My Guardian Alien.”
