In an interview with the press during the cast party Monday, October 12, Maria said she is open to doing more movies soon.

She said she had a very different experience working on the film, in which she stars with Cesar Montano. (READ:Cesar Montano replaces Robin Padilla in ‘Nilalang’ with Maria Ozawa)

“It’s totally different in any other countries. Like I’ve done a movie in Thailand and in Taiwan. But this one is different… everyone is nice, they spoil me,” she said.

“The working hours were really crazy. Really crazy, like more than 15 hours a day but still because it was that long, I got to know the cast more. The more I stay, the more I fall in love with the Philippines,” she said.

As for her career in the adult film industry, Maria said she has no plans of even going back. 

“I haven’t done those [films] in 5 or 6 years, and yeah I quit the industry 100%. That’s why I’ve been doing movies in Thailand and Taiwan and traveling to China every month for a club event,”she said.

Aside from making films, Maria has a club in Japan which she manages. She said she would love to open a bar in the county, as she loves to drink. 

On Robin Padilla and Cesar Montano

Maria also said that she is still open to working with Robin Padilla despite their misunderstanding.  Robin was the original leading man in Nilalang before Cesar came on board. However, he decided to back out after his wife Mariel Rodriguez became pregnant and later suffered a miscarriage. Maria later made a public apology after she posted he was unprofessional for leaving the project.

She also said that she cannot compare Cesar and Robin as she did not meet Robin at all.

“For that don’t know because I haven’t met Robin, so I don’t know how to compare,” she said.

She described leading man Cesar Montano as a gentleman.

“He was really nice, kind and handsome. I think he was really a good leading man,” she said.

When asked how Cesar made her comfortable during the making of the film, Maria said: “He worries about me if I’m okay and keeps me company.”

In Nilalang, Maria plays a daughter of a Yakuza member. Cesar is a cop who seeks her help in a series of murders. 

The movie will open in December as an entry to the  2015 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). – Rappler.com
