GMA Network has unveiled a new look at Marian Rivera’s upcoming role in “Balota.”
In contrast to her usual graceful personal looks and lovely characters, the Kapuso Primetime Queen turns “deglamorized” in her latest character photo posted on Instagram. Wearing a grimy teacher’s uniform in a forest, Marian has messy hair, plus blood and bruises all over her.
“Balota” follows 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.
It is directed by award-winning filmmaker Kip Oebanda, and will screen at the Cinemalaya Film Festival from August 2 to 11.
Previous photos showed Marian holding a bright yellow ballot box in a school. Her co-star, content creator Sassa Gurl, also shared scenes of a protest and a conversation with Marian.
Marian is fresh from a win at the FAMAS Awards, where she and Dingdong Dantes were the first recipients of the Bida ng Takilya trophies.
She is currently starring in her comeback series, “My Guardian Alien” and the sitcom with Dingdong, “Jose & Maria’s Bonggang Villa.”
